I recently submitted a piece for the "Life Over AIDS" show, hosted by Caritas Village. The exhibition is intended is to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. I drew the image above after reading this list of statistics from The Centers for Disease Control website, which states:
"At some point in their life, approximately one in 16 black men will be diagnosed with HIV..."
That's a pretty scary (and small) number, especially when dealing with HIV and AIDS. I'm part of the aforementioned demographic, so that stat also strikes a personal chord.
