Artist's Statement
Technology is a double edged sword, as it allows people to witness deaths like that of George Floyd, which is terrifying to watch, but it also helps ignite a movement. Racial injustice should not be a thing and I was full of joy to see the amount of people protesting across the United States. Black Lives Matter and we are in this together.

I put myself to work as soon as possible because Art is my language and after several drafts and sketches this is the end result. George Floyd in a suit surrounded by flowers. The suit symbolizes my criticism towards clothing creating a form of judgment towards others and if Floyd was wearing a suit he would probably have been treated differently. The flowers symbolize death, compassion and love for each other. Everyone brings flowers to an altar and there have been many altars created in memory of George Floyd. Finally, I added text, as we are fighting for JUSTICE.
