Income inequality in America is alive and well. Specifically, while the top 1% of the nation benefits from the concentration of wealth that they have, there are people at the bottom living paycheck to paycheck, working multiple jobs just trying to make ends meet. I designed this quilt to portray the imbalance between those at the top and those at the bottom and I want this quilt to remind people that we need to work to try and dismantle this inequality for the generations to come.
