These are times of toxic polarization. The division between the Right and the Left has become so great that we are living in a fractured democracy. F-U Red Blue is a call to activate public consciousness for people to come together, despite our divergent political views, valuing “people over party”.
A percentage of sticker proceeds have been donated to the ACLU.
This platform empowers people to express in a safe, anonymous way, publicly sharing their feelings, frustrations and concerns without judgement or consequence.
Participants write and draw on copies of an extraction of the original work, F-U-Red Blue and then share their creation by taping it to a wall.
As participants mount their “F-U” the wall quickly fills with everyone’s individual piece, generating a wall of community expression.

Watching the wall fill up, mixed with people’s desire to express, I have observed that individual’s sharing their feelings with their community leads to healing.
As I posted the F-U’s on social media. I began receiving requests to come to the gallery to make one.
