P-R-I-D-E

The artist created this during the Pride month of 2018 and wanted to maintain his Deaf identity. The handshapes spell out pride. The colors transit like a rainbow starting with red and end with blue from left to right against the purple background. Altogether, there's no bolder statement to show pride within the deaf community than what is seen in the painting.
