The cycle of poverty is a self-perpetuating system in which people who are born into poverty are more likely to remain in poverty throughout their lives. Poverty is a multidimensional issue that has far more effects on our society than we can think of; its impacts are not only limited to individuals; it extends to communities, economies, and even overall social life. It has also been considered one of the major reasons for societal sins and how it affects our cultural values and society.
This specific art is created using the intaglio Aquatint printing technique of printmaking. This intaglio print is an illustration to highlight the effects of poverty that we see daily. The elderly man with disabilities is sitting on damaged stairs and wooden doors. This symbolizes the hardships of his life, as he begs for money and food.
Poor individuals with disabilities can face various hardships and challenges in their lives, which often arise due to social barriers, discrimination, and the physical or cognitive limitations associated with their disabilities. It's essential to approach the topic of poverty with empathy and understanding, as each person's circumstances are unique. Living in poverty affects individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
