Description:
A color digital photograph by Devin Allen of an unidentified person walking past an illustration painted on a blighted building in Baltimore, Maryland, by artist Sarah Sioux. The person holds a large black umbrella over their head, obscuring their face, and walks toward the right side of the frame on a brick sidewalk. Behind the person is a building with boarded up doors and windows. Signs and stickers are adhered to the boarded windows around a large black and white mural of a person's face wearing a baseball cap backwards and surrounded by meandering lengths of chain with snake heads on the end, referencing the mythical character Medusa. Blue handwritten text on the cheeks of the illustration reads "George Clinton / says the same / help the homeless / [illegible signature]" and "Stop / Denying / Homeless / [illegible] / Are / Around !!!".
