This is a painting of a stylized representation of human rights advocacy. The image features bold and contrasting colors with a prominent depiction of a person with a covered face and an open mouth. The dynamic lines intersect the figure. To the left, large text reads "HUMAN RIGHTS DAY DEC 10," Below, there is text about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with specific dates emphasized. The stark contrasts and graphic style hint at pop-art influences. This is in the style of Shepard Fairey.
