Student Name: Aidan Holloway School: Oswego East High School Grade: 12th Class: Individual Student UN Sustainable Development Goal: No Poverty Brief Artist Statement: Poverty is staggeringly common in the United States. I had an encounter with poverty when I was about 7 or 8 years old. My dad was unemployed for 4 years. He was terrified, bracing for that moment when the pantry would go bare; but that moment never came, God was looking out for us and we made it through. This piece is dedicated to the ones who feel alone in their struggle against poverty. You are loved and seen.
