I chose to use charcoal for this piece because the contrast between black and white is so powerful, it allows definition and depth to the picture and that is what is needed when creating a piece to show intense emotion. This picture has been interpreted in different ways for different people, although I aimed for it to portray rage, people have seen it as painful and even some see it as celebratory. I think this, however, has worked in my favour as art should be able to be perceived in any way, and so everybody can relate to the image for their own reasons.
