Article 20
Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. No one may be compelled to belong to an association.

About my work
This Article was the obvious choice for me. I spend a lot of time on social media and it was difficult to ignore the shift in the greater social consciousness. More and more people have reached the point where they have had enough. I decided to be part of this project to join the protest, because I too have had enough of the injustices taking place around the world.
I created my interpretation of Article 20 using leftover materials found around my home. I wanted to use what I already had to make a political point. I chose backstitch to illustrate a continuous line drawing of two hands holding tight. The hands are a symbol of strength, unity and quiet resistance. Black thread was used so the image would act as a reinforcement of the text, rather than the focus. I used various hues of yellow thread so the text was clear and uninterrupted.
