Top Shelf
Medium: Canvas, laser cut book board, cardboard, and HW coated paper
The climate of censorship and book banning highlights a struggle over rights and access to information, challenging First Amendment freedoms. Removing books from educational settings limits diverse perspectives that enrich understanding and foster empathy. The project “Top Shelf” symbolizes the effort needed to reach complex literature, emphasizing the importance of open-mindedness and critical thought. It aims to raise awareness about book bans, including non-political titles like *Where the Wild Things Are*, alongside politically charged works that shape public discourse. Top Shelf advocates for diverse voices and promotes an inclusive dialogue about literature and education.
