About The Artwork

This piece addresses the senseless shootings happening throughout our country, specifically white police officers shooting unarmed African Americans. Here the scene takes place in Chicago, with a police officer represented as a wild dog with gun in hand while a deceased, dapper African American gentleman comes back from death pleading for this violence to stop and for people to listen to his story. His hands are up, referencing the protest chant "hands up, don't shoot." His eyes are “stop” media buttons, and his mouth consist of a 'play' and 'pause' media button, symbolizing the need for people to pause and listen. This is happening in Chicago, where the use of a gold color to portray it represents the sanctuary city, shaking and shaken by the dramatic events it has witnessed. The frame around the piece is an homage to Keith Haring, who dedicated his life to the ideals of equality and social justice.
