This is a piece that is all about the brutal and unfair crimes against people of color that are extremely overlooked. They still happen to this current day. The piece shows five men that were hung for crimes, four signs read “guilty” while the other reads “innocent”. The one who is innocent is of course the only one of color in the piece as well. The reason they are all hung in front of a wall with the light on them is to make it more local, which it is. I added street art to the walls behind them to emphasize this as well.
Inspirational Artist/Work
Although no one knows his real name, Banksy often creates pieces that are inspirational but also controversial and provoking. What makes his work so controversial is the fact that they’re are mostly based off of modern day problems and struggles and uses the subjects to provoke emotion and thought into his audience. He often displayed these subjects and pieces on the side of buildings with a large scale so that they were not easy to miss. This played along with the actual pieces themselves to make his work so popular and thought provoking. This part of his work that's so out there and controversial and sensitive subjects is exactly what makes him so inspirational for my work. This same exact aspect is what I planned to bring into my work.
