Description
"Hand lettered text at top of print within speed bubble reads "Si no hay lucha no hay victoria". Image is distorted such that it appears to have been taken through a fish eye lens. A woman stands on a side walk with her child in one arm at the center of the print. In the other hand she holds a small iconic home. In simple gray lettering "home" floats below it. In back of her you can see a wall with a mural of stylized figures raising fists and identical men in suits painted over." Colors used: light violet, warm orangs (trans), mustard yellow (trans), gray violet, purple, and transparent white (trans).
