My  inspiration for this painting is a news photo of Minneapolis police in riot gear confronting protesters while deploying tear gas and projectiles. The photographer is Kerem Yucel.

Clashes between police and protesters erupted across the country as thousands descended on the streets, pleading for justice in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Since his death on May 31, 2020, protesters have continued their advocacy in the streets of cities across the nation. Can you find hope in this painting?

“I Can’t Breathe!” is watercolor #1 In the Transforming Injustice! Series.

The watercolor is foreboding and heavy, depicting the murder of George Floyd. In the midst of the darkness of the watercolor, a tree spreads its branches.The verdant green of the leaves reach across the darkness as if to say, “Hate and violence will not prevail over all that’s just!”
