But ultimately, he found through his art a better medium for helping the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently Ellender Memorial Library hosted an event for Black History Month celebrating the work of the art senior, who has been displaying his work in the library for four years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve loved working with him over the years for our Black History Month displays,\u201d said Elizabeth Layton, Access Services Librarian. \u201cWhen I found out this was his last year, I couldn\u2019t resist a \u2018Greatest Hits\u2019 display to showcase the impact his art makes in the campus and community, in addition to the fantastic new work he has been creating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woods\u2019 most recent work depicts the stigma that has been placed on African Americans in society. He blacked out the models\u2019 faces to emphasize the labels people put on African American men, such as beasts or monsters. He also used a bear trap to emphasize still being trapped in 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe trap for me symbolizes being trapped, while not physically, we are still trapped in the same mindset in society,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are trapped in the present day stigmas that are oppressing us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first piece he showcased in the library was Black Tears, which he put together the year George Floyd was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis. The list of names included has since more than doubled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted to create an homage to the people that have been killed by police brutality, but I wanted to do it in a subtle way,\u201d he said. \u201cI thought about the emotion I felt, and it made me want to cry. I wanted to show that like ripples, like tear drops.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His second year display was called African-American Queens, in which he wanted to showcase the beauty and intelligence of African-American women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn today\u2019s society, there are unrealistic stigmas and values that have been put on African-American women,\u201d he says. \u201cThat they have to look, talk and dress a certain way, but I wanted to show that regardless, they are black queens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his third year, his inspiration came from traditional African art, like that which had inspired Spanish painter Pablo Picasso.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople look at those pieces and call it quick and easy work,\u201d Woods said. \u201cIf Picasso\u2019s work can be considered great, how is it that work from a person of African descent can be looked at as quick work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woods says seeing the work together like this, he can see growth in his artistic expression over time. At first, he thought it might be problematic to show how he felt on the inside, but over time, watching all the wrongs happening to African Americans, he thought it was important to put his emotions into his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is how I hold my peaceful protest,\u201d he said. \u201cMy art is how I can speak about social issues and injustices. I have always wanted to help people, and I found that I can help people through my art, by speaking out about these injustices, these inequalities, the things going on in the world.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>###<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-979a944 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\"
