An American nightmare
Personal project I created right after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. I was like many, horrified and filled with sorrow for these children, teachers and the families involved in the tragedy. I simply cannot understand how weapons of war are still legally purchasable by just about anyone. No one has ever defended him/herself with one of these weapons. There are only use for one purpose.
The title “An American nightmare” is a play on words with “The American dream” which still resonates with a land of opportunities and freedom. Within the title, I thought important to highlight the important role the NRA (National Rifle Association) plays in this senseless tragedy.
