I drew this piece to commemorate those massacred in the Orlando Pulse Nightclub.6 bars of blue & 12 golden bars comprise the sea & sky, signifying June 12th.The silhouette flock of 49 flamingos represents the number of loved ones killed. I chose the flamingo for their long association with Florida – admired for their flamboyant displays & vibrant beauty – but more so, for their name derived from the mythical fiery phoenix.The central figure soars upward to contrast the sunset as a symbol of hope renewal & celebration of life, to embody the perseverance of the queer community, rising from ashes in defiance of injustice and in the quest for human rights.Phoenix RisingPrints available now on society6.com -- source link
