I had this assignment to draw shoes. Sometimes I swear professors intentionally come up with the most boring assignments to force students to test their imaginations and come up with something unique. I chose this young girl from Vietnam who'd lost both legs and an arm during the war. I'm sometimes razzed about my frequent anti-war themes, but now more than ever, I think it's the artist's duty to speak the conscience of the people.
