"We See You," "BLM," "Now is the Time!" and "Unity"
George Perry Floyd (October 14, 1973 - May 25, 2020) was a 46-year-old Black American man who was murdered by former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin after Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 minutes in the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. Floyd’s murder sparked an international movement for Black Lives Matter, the largest civil rights movement of the century. On March 12, 2021, the city of Minneapolis agreed to pay $27 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Floyd's family. On June 25, 2021, Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for his crimes.
Five works on plywood:
A red heart with flowers blooming from the top, "We See You" on a white ribbon, and #justiceforgeorge and #restinpower underneath it.

"Now is The Time!!!" in black paint outlined in yellow on an orange background.
"Unity" inside an abstracted flower with hands of varying skin tones as the petal, leaves, and flowers emerging out of it.
