ABOUT THE ART

"This Peace and Freedom print is a new take on symbols and themes that have been consistent in my art for several years. The text and imagery speak for themselves, but basically, the image is about cultivating peace and harmony to promote compassionate bonds with each other and break free from the invisible chains of division. Solidarity is required to reach critical mass for justice, and the purveyors of injustice sew division to avoid repercussions for their actions. Let’s work together to push forward justice for all!⁠"

-Shepard Fairey
