Description
An account of the resource
On a foundation of light blue and pink paint, layers upon layers of vivid colors emerge. Black, blue, yellow, and pink crosses layer over red and green circles and dark yellow Xs to build a bold foundation for the focal point of the image to stand out. 13 bold white crosses are the top layer of the piece, each reading the name of a Black person murdered by the police and their age at their death.
The crosses read, from left to right, as follows:
George Floyd, 46
Breonna Taylor, 26
Eric Garner, 43
Trayvon Martin, 17
Riah Milton, 25
Michael Brown, 28 (correct age is 18)
Sandra Bland, 28
Elijah McClain, 23
Tamir Rice, 12
Philando Castile, 32
Freddie Gray, 25
Oscar Grant III, 22
Emmett Till, 14
In the upper leftmost corner of the work, in pink lettering almost indiscernible against the layers of paint that make up the background, the fully capitalized text reads: "May their memories be a blessing."
