Take A Look At Yourself
A black-and-white portrait of George Floyd on plywood outside of a business. The portrait is stylized to be more abstract and haunting than hyperrealistic, but because it is such a recognizable photo Floyd is easily identified. His black hooded sweatshirt is replaced with the motif of the United States American flag. The words "TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF" are written beneath the portrait with spray paint.
