I remember when I was in third grade our teacher had great passion for the arts. She introduced us to many artists and one of the one Jackson Pollock, an American abstract painter. His art amused me because to many all those splattered paints meant absolutely nothing but a “mess” some would say but to me this art had so much expression in it.

I have always loved and appreciated art, but I never considered myself being an artist or even capable of being an artist. I am a writer, photographer, and videographer, and while I experience those mediums as expressive and personal, I have made excuses as to why my products are not art: “even creative writing is formulaic and academic, therefore it is not art; my photography relies more on technical skill and internal math, therefore it is not art; my videography captures a subject but is not…

Hands The advertisement published by Mccann Erickson titled "Casa Do Menor," is not only traumatic to the eyes but disturbing to the heart while successfully capturing child abuse. The ill grasping hands that trap one into utter confinement are dark, eerie and haunting.
