You have noting to explain about why youu proudly display your art. In my home I proudly display my art and I have a white roommate . Im not trying ot make a political statement , im decorting my home and so are you . The hthings you choose to place there reflect your taste and idea of beauty. I f a white person comes inot your home and is all in a tizzy or feels uncomfortable about your art, that is not you but them and they need to name what they are feeling and deal with it. Now flip this how do black people or people of other cultures feel when everywhere they go there is noting or extremely little that looks like them how are they supposed to process that daily . A white person can choose an existence of not ever dealing with an obvious person of color if the want to so to waklk into you r home and feel ???is work that they have to do . you should have no guilt but be proudley ready to discuss origins and meaning of your art and buy more

Jordan I think u misunderstand . You a re comparing shoes to art. I can also say as someone who is not dutch, those wooded shoes you sescribe to be are interesting in an artistic way cecause that is not somrething I see everyday. In fact there are dutch artists whose names I don't recall now who are revered the world over . Im sure therer are Dutch americans who would 'kill ' to get any of those pieces. I won't theink they are insecure but that they can tae pleasure that someone who shares their culture can create something the world mu=ight think is beautiful and I am offended that u think african art is ugly. I would suggest that you exxamine within you r life in the future your feelings about people and things thatare different from yu Happy Holidays
