Flowerbed Tribute to George
A single-level raised flowerbed holding a variety of flourishing plant life painted blue with spray painted stencil details. George Floyd's portrait is painted in white, with a yellow halo, flanked on either side by Black power fists in black paint. A wide array of objects have been placed next to and underneath the flowerbed in memory of George, including but not limited to: prayer candles, Buddha statues, plants and flowers, shoes, painted stones, essential oils, and stuffed animals.
The photographer stood outside of Cup Foods in order to take this image. Cup Foods is the corner store that called the police to accuse Floyd of attempting to make a purchase with a counterfeit bill, ultimately leading to the fatal confrontation that resulted in his death.

Black Power at 38th and Chicago
A monument taking the shape of a brown raised fist rises out of the intersection of 38th and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis. The clenched fist has been understood as a universal symbol of solidarity and support for over a century. The Black Power fist is one of the most iconic and easily recognizable iterations of this motif. Between its fingers, the fist clenches a red, black, and green striped Pan-African flag. A single left-handprint in black paint is visible on the wrist of the monument. Around the base of the monument, cement bricks create a perimeter to protect the memorial constructed to George Floyd, composed of cut flowers, potted plants, stuffed animals, and signage. The most visible sign reads simply: "Don't Shoot!"
The location in which George Floyd was murdered by the Minneapolis Police Department has since been transformed into a memorial. The zone, regarded as "George Floyd Square," is filled with memorial tributes to Floyd. Residents from the neighborhood maintain that the streets remain barricaded off in order to protect the area from traffic.
