Wall
The texture and scraping away of paint to reveal hints of color beneath make this painting more than a black and white depiction. A wall is never black and white even if the initial impression is so. The painting was completed as a reaction to the war in Ukraine, as well as socio-political forces, including those in the art world, related to walls and allowing entry or denying access.

Evaluation Under A Strict Scrutiny Standard Of Review
In the field of law, strict scrutiny is the highest standard of review that a court will use to evaluate the constitutionality of governmental discrimination. To pass strict scrutiny, the legislature must have passed the law to further a compelling governmental interest, and it must have narrowly tailored the law to achieve that interest.
In this piece, I used the concept of strict scrutiny, following a similar definition but with more irrational results, in expressing an evaluation of a person, the depth of that person’s being, and what compels that person to think and feel in various ways, among other things.
