- Description
- The image is a collage of various elements. On the left side, there are two photographs: the top one shows a person wearing a T-shirt with a graphic of a Black man and the text "Black Lives Matter," while the bottom photo captures a crowd of people at a protest, many holding signs. On the right side, there is a handwritten note with green ink that reads, "IF YOU DESIRE THAT I CONTINUE THIS, I ASK FOR HELP." The note is surrounded by green doodles. Above the note, there is a small piece of paper with the word "HAPPY" written on it, dated "2.22.17." The overall composition suggests a personal reflection or call for support in continuing activism.
