Description
The black/white photograph features a V-shaped portable mural painted by Jim Dong. The mural scene depicts an elderly man grasping a cane in one hand and a wrecking ball in the other hand. There is a brick facade and a sign for the "International Hotel" behind him. His eyes and mouth wide open, he appears to shout at two other men. One of men wears a black robe. The other man wears sunglasses and smokes a cigar.
