The woman who is colored in black and white signifies the very distinct dividing line between Caucasian people and visible minorities. The reason she is in black and white is because that is how I wanted people to perceive her, just like how when we see someone new (a stranger on the bus, a new colleague, a new boss, ext.) one of the first things we do is register the color of their skin and therefor their culture as well. This isn’t something we can change but I feel like it is something we can all try to control that will help us judge people less on their appearance and culture and more on the person who they truly are.

The balloons are being set free into the sky from the palms of her hands, which symbolize freedom of expression and religion for each and every person. All people’s thoughts and beliefs should be respected even if you don’t personally agree with it. Everyone knows what it feels like to be told that your own opinions or feeling are wrong.
