CreditPEACE BY PIECE By Nicky Beltran

In this poster the lines that make up the peace sign are deconstructed to form three (red, white and blue) simple stick figures holding hands at the bottom of the page. This portion of the poster is meant to represent the people of the United States at peace. The distressed look of the poster, however, is meant to represent how this idea of peace is currently under attack. It's meant to speak to the great divide currently plaguing the people of the United States.
