Summary

This painting depicts Malala Yousafzai, specifically when she was on the cover of the magazine Vanity Fair. I chose to paint her because the Taliban had recently tried to take back power at the time and because I was inspired by my Muslim immigrant classmates and the fact that they may not have the same educational opportunities and rights if they hadn't moved to Georgia. I completed this painting for Philip Mosier's Art History class in the fall of 2021.
