Reconciliation
Seen through the screen of a cell phone camera, a Black protestor and Minneapolis police chief Arradondo embrace each other. They are surrounded by other protestors and officers in various shades of brown. One police officer wears a face mask. There is police crime scene tape and a news crew in the background.

This work was posted on the artist's Instagram page on June 26th. She indicated that it was based on a photograph.
Additional photos in this entry were produced on June 30th and appear to show the work being removed. An older piece that had been covered was then revealed.
According to City Pages article, this short-lived mural was perceived to be insensitive and was therefore controversial. It was removed on June 30: http://www.citypages.com/arts/most-hated-kmart-in-america-gets-most-hated-mural-in-town/571691981
