Her first step towards liberty

This artwork depicts the peaceful defiance of an innocent girl shaped by the love of her parents. She placed herself in the path of the riot army, staring up at an armed officer while she clenched on to her mother’s finger. She held out the flower not in hope for freedom but as an act of unprejudiced love. She does not know what is happening around her. She does not know whom to trust. She probably will not remember this moment but her mother thought it was important for her to have the experience of this unifying moment. 💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿
