We Are Blinded Through Our Ears Now

This is a digital drawing done by Oto A. Attah. It is titled “We Are Blinded Through Our Ears Now” and was posted to Instagram on September 9. It displays an ear with an eye in the ear. There is an arrow inside the eye causing it to bleed. The arrow has a tag which reads “From: The Media.” This art piece works to caution the audience of all the fake news surrounding the media. It encourages people to do their own research regarding current events or anything in general as the media can easily manipulate people’s minds. In regards to the Black Lives Matter Movement, people should get directly involved in any way they can, one way being through informing oneself of current events and issues. It should be one’s individual responsibility to find reliable and credible sources of information especially if they want to get involved in the movement.
