AIC junior Kyle Kazukynas created this cartoon in his Cultivating Creativity class, with Professor John Nordell.

The assignment called for students to respond artistically to a controversial painting by African-American artist Claude Clark, called ‘Polarization.’ That painting depicted issues of race and power in the United States.

Kyle Kazukynas wrote, “I believe there is a constant battle within the US and its citizens. However, many are blind to see it.” His cartoon is a visual representation of those thoughts.
