I have done this still life to reflect the image of food. I have a pantry that is always full. I never have to worry whether I will be able to make myself a meal or not, while others are not so fortunate. Poverty does not affect me personally, but a concerning 17% of Canadian youth are at greater risk of poor academic achievement, behavioural and emotional problems, physical health issues and developmental delays due to poverty. I can support youth by donating non perishables and volunteering at my local food bank.
