Rage Unleashed

The canvas resonates with the explosive energy of "Know Your Enemy," a relentless anthem by Rage Against the Machine that rages against the chains of conformity and the American dreams turned nightmares.

Lyrics wrap around the canvas, demanding that the viewer "know your enemy" as the institution becomes a metaphorical battleground for equity and progress. The juxtaposition of the majestic architecture and the dissonant rebellion within the lyrics speaks to the internal struggle against conformity. The artwork is not just a symphony of dissent but a visual manifesto challenging the academic status quo, urging individuals to amplify their voices and break into a system tainted by the very institutions they attend.

Within the visceral strokes of 'Rage Unleashed' the artist channels the profound impact of racial microaggressions and explicit accusations of verbal abuse, particularly targeting the psychological safety of marginalized individuals at MIT. The artwork transforms the iconic dome at MIT into a symbol of institutional injustice, capturing the emotional fallout from the weaponized tears of a white woman.

Against a backdrop of dissonant colors and defiant imagery, the canvas echoes the silent struggles faced by those subjected to racial microaggressions. The artwork serves as a visual testament to the lack of psychological safety endured, urging viewers to confront the harsh realities of discrimination within academic institutions and prompting a necessary dialogue about dismantling systemic oppression at its core.
