In Morph, a subdued lavender mist rolls into an eerie forest, while a lone figure sits atop a tree stump. The primary character gazes intently at a butterfly that has landed upon its skeletal hand, while pinching the stem of a freshly plucked, yet wilting, flower. Rendered with orange skin and exaggerated features, the pensive figure appears neither human nor animal. These surrealistic elements each suggest an internal metamorphosis, symbolizing the ever-evolving processes of growth, change, death, and rebirth that are central to one’s experience. For this limited edition series, Nicasio Fernandez will hand-embellish the prints by using acrylic paint and colored pencil to alter certain aspects of the image, rendering each work unique.

This marks ART FOR CHANGE’s second partnership with When We All Vote, a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase participation in every election and to close the race and age voting gap. In conjunction with the online exhibition, ART FOR CHANGE will donate five percent of the unframed purchase price of sales through December 1st, with a $10,000 minimum commitment, to support When We All Vote’s mission to increase voter participation in this crucial election year.

Of ART FOR CHANGE’s initiative of supporting When We All Vote, Fernandez notes, “With the amount of voter suppression that occurs today, having a dedicated program that can provide resources, information, and acknowledgment of voter’s rights is crucial. Everyone’s voice is important, and deserves the opportunity to be heard.”
