ABOUT THE ART

"The Rise Above Rose Geometric print contains several recurrent symbols in my work. The rose represents the archetype of an individual or a society who has endured oppression but perseveres to rise above conflict. Rise above also references the song “Rise Above” by Black Flag, one of my favorite punk bands. In creating art that encourages people to rise above adversity, I hope that it also motivates people to fight against injustice even when the fight is difficult."

- Shepard
