Honestly, I first came across this image while casually
scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed. I immediately stopped, and clicked on the
photo to view it enlarged. I was struck by the beautiful use colors that
created a sort of kaleidoscope effect. I'm not sure if I just have revolution
on the mind, but if you look at this photo at a distanced view, I see a raised
fist, which could symbolizing solidarity and add a whole other layer of
political implication to this piece. But, various friends of mine have
convinced me that I am 'seeing things', yet art is made to be interpreted in
multiple ways! Whatever the case, the image remains striking. The average
person sees a whimsical take on the World War II photo of a sailor kissing a
nurse. The Brazilian artist, Eduardo Kobra, is a fairly popular graffiti artist
and is known for his restoration of historic images. His art is vibrant and eye-catching!
