Protest

From the Artist

I was inspired by the history of protests, peace rallies, and civic gatherings that have taken place in Public Square and wanted to acknowledge this tradition through these large-scale characters engaged in various forms of that practice. There is an element of passion and peaceful dissent in the man and woman holding megaphones, a calmer form of public engagement in the person holding up flyers or newspapers, and a moment of reconciliation between protesters of differing views or camaraderie between the two individuals sharing a hug.
