Title: Build the Love. Take out the Hate. Artist Statement: I took this picture to symbolize building love and kindness and taking out hate and other negative things with racial discrimination. I did this through a game called Jenga where kids of different races are playing together and leaving out negative words and putting nice ones on the tower.
