Why Should I Care About Elder Abuse?

A statement from Lauren Prochelo, Barbara Bagan's granddaughter:

The assignment was to make a poster that will make people aware of the neglected problem of elder abuse.  The piece had to include the quote, "Why should I care about elder abuse?" 

The concept behind the drawing is how our grandparents and parents are the reason why we are here and, so we should appreciate them and respect our elders.  After all, they are the ones who raised us.  The picture is of my great grandma holding my cousin, McKenna, when she was a baby. 

"It is through art, and through art only, that we can realize our perfection; through art, and through art only, that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence."
