Crosswalk 3

Framed Size: 15 x 17
On June 14, 2025, protests against a wannabe king took place all over the country. Leaving the protest, as we crossed the street, I took a photo of the characters in this image. It seemed quite emblematic of the time we are in now, when liberty is at stake. A woman dressed as the Statue of Liberty and was crossing simultaneously with a woman holding a “No Kings” placard and a woman in an abaya covering, with a small boy. There were others, so I included a gentleman to round it out. The photo, for me, was not enough, nor was the watercolor painting I made from it. I had to challenge myself, and this print is one of the two best from a very difficult registration process. I felt it worth pursuing as a moment in history and culture. The crosswalk is a good symbol- representing what we are crossing from and where we are going. The characters are many, and all worthy of liberty. The crosswalk may also represent following the rules for our own safety. Freedom does have its boundaries. This is a tribute to the US Constitution and its basic premises, that we can all walk here as long as we are following the rules.
