Miseducation of Public Housing by Kal-El

A colorful painting depicts two figures near a chain-link fence. One is posed with hands on knees, wearing a crown and skull mask, orange shirt, and white sneakers. The other figure is shown only from the waist down, in blue pants and black boots, leaning over suggestively towards the masked figure. Beneath them is a rat and a snake.

Artist statement: “Z-Coding is taking something normalized and making it different. My purpose in my art is to show that different is also beautiful. Painting is my way of coping with social anxiety, depression, and anger. Music inspires my colors and emotions determine what visual effects will speak from my canvas.”
