"Jordan Moss #2" (18 x24, Acrylic, Crayon, Paper, Jersey On Canvas)
-
Oravetz explores the nature of connection and the need for togetherness in modern American culture. 'Jordan Moss' merges two iconic figures, Michael Jordan and Kate Moss, creating a visual metaphor for unexpected unions.
The piece juxtaposes seemingly disparate elements: sports and fashion, masculinity and femininity, African American and Caucasian identities. By fusing these contrasting figures, Oravetz invites viewers to contemplate the potential for unity in our diverse society through a continued fascination with American pop culture.

"Black & White" (18 x24, Acrylic, Blood On Canvas)
-
Oravetz confronts the viewer with a stark representation of America's racial divide. 'Black & White' is a layered composition that juxtaposes three highly charged images, creating a visual narrative that is deeply personal, uncomfortable and universally resonant.
At its core, the artwork features two contrasting scenes: a Ku Klux Klan cross burning and a Black Panther demonstration. These images, representing extreme polarities of racial ideology in America, are overlaid to create a complex, tension-filled visual landscape.
The work is used to illustrate the disparate communities that shaped Oravetz's upbringing. By presenting these conflicting images side by side, Oravetz invites viewers to confront the uncomfortable realities of racial division and the ongoing struggle for equality.
