We can see a colourful painting on the wall, painted by Megan LEWIS. It is called street art. On this picture, we can clearly see a black woman with one of her hand up. She’s wearing the same sort of dress as the liberty statue in New York.
She’s holding the same sort of book in her hand, as the famous statue.
We can imagine that the artist wanted it to be a message of liberty for all by using the Liberty Statue as a black woman.
It is to show that, no matter our skin colours, we are all free and equals, or at least we should be.
On the book that the woman is holding, we can see that “know thyself” is wrote, with a sort of arrow which show herself.
The expression “Know thyself” means that she knows who she is, she knows her value. She is aware about how she deserves to be treated by other people or by the society.
Around the fist she is holding in the air, we can see a yellow round. This circle represents the sun. It’s like if her fist was the sign of liberty and equality that radiate on the whole town behind her.
We can also imagine that this street art painting is an in situ work: it does mean that this work has to be on this wall, and only this wall ( it can’t be on another one). And so, the window that we can see on the picture could probably be the open window on a world where everyone is free and equal.
