"This impression of Peace and Freedom is a new approach to the symbols and themes that have been constant in my art for several years. The text and imagery speak for themselves, but basically, the image talks about cultivating peace and harmony to promote bonds of compassion with each other and free themselves from the invisible chains of division. Solidarity is necessary to reach the critical mass of justice, and the providers of injustice sow division to avoid the repercussions of their actions. Let's work together to advance justice for all!" Shepard Fairey
