My name is Joan Takayama Ogawa, a ceramic artist and educator. I live in Pasadena, California. On May 24, 2022, I began my summer vacation.I was working in my ceramic studio with a television on as background noise. There was an interruption to regular program with breaking news from Uvalde, Texas. I watched in real time for one hour and 14 minutes the Robb Elementary School massacre.I watched a man's anguish begging for a Kevlar vest to save his wife who was a teacher killed in adjoining rooms 111 and 112.As a teacher, I was outraged and shocked once again.I searched Amazon for AR-15’s. Strangely, I discovered AR-15 chocolate candy molds and clicked immediately to buy. Within 24 hours, I pressed clay into the AR-15 chocolate molds while the details of the Robb Elementary School Massacre were televised live.I mounted the AR-15’s on broken American flags symbolizing a broken America. The AR-15’s are pointed towards symbols of innocent children and teachers who are murdered like fish in a barrel. Gold leaf, on one side of the AR-15 symbolize the $2 billion legal sales to civilians in the 21st century, I called the piece America's Schoolhouse Shooting Gallery. Since then, more school shootings have been added to the stack of American education in crisis. Let us not become immune or numb or lost in the blur of school shootings. Students and their families are afraid to attend school. Teachers are afraid to teach. Every school lockdown, whether there is a shooting or not, takes its toll on everyone. Let us think about all the broken lives. Let us think about all the broken families. Too many American families are suffering forever.
