About the work: A protest is a sign of displeasure by a group of people over political, religious and any other social injustice. The protestors usually put up some behavior and chant words that are worth expressing as an artist. The whole procession of a protest is characterized by scenes that are worth recording on canvas and over media. Despite what the protest is all about.
