Inflation

“In 1989, residents began to advocate for measures that would help mitigate the effects of inflation, seeking relief through various channels, including community organizations and local government initiatives. The economic landscape of Washington D.C. in 1989 thus became a focal point for understanding the broader challenges of inflation in urban settings.”


I was 13 during this time, I had witnessed the effects of inflation as a student. 35 years later, it still is an issue in Washington, DC and abroad.

Swirls and shades of purple blend into one another, creating an abstract and immersive visual experience. Hints of light blue peek through, adding a contrasting highlight to the darker hues.

Creative Entertainment

  Quote found on the Internet  “The 1990s marked a transformative era for the entertainment scene in Washington, D.C., where the convergence of political dynamics and cultural expression significantly influenced artistic endeavors. As the capital of the United States, the city served as a vibrant backdrop for political dialogue, which was often reflected in the creative outputs of its artists. Various forms of media, including documentaries, performance art, and literature, emerged as powerful tools for addressing urgent social issues, fostering a deeper engagement with the public and prompting critical discussions on contemporary matters.” I was a student during the 1990s up until the late 1990s. 

Creative Reflection

  Quote found on the Internet  Creative Reflection. Digital art created on canvas. November 13, 2024. Afrika Abney  Digital art is created using technology. I enjoy watching television.
