Reality Check investigates the concept of diffusion of responsibility with pressing global issues. Diffusion of responsibility is a socio-psychological phenomenon whereby an individual assumes that other people are responsible for taking necessary action. In Reality Check Davis juxtaposes mixed media paintings depicting diffusion of responsibility with works investigating gender equality, racial discrimination, and climate change. The work addresses our unwillingness to listen, our resistance to speak up and our inability to see the imminent consequences of our indifference.
