Mural by Sophia "Wet Paint" Dawson @iamwetpaint ❣️ Everyone is susceptible to life’s obstacles but much like wet paint, this artist believes we are all a work in progress. Through her trials and tribulations, she has found sanctuary and purpose through art by making it a tool for activism. “As artists, we can create the world we want to see”. Sophia Dawson of, I Am Wet Paint/TunnelVision Artist Agency, is a Brooklyn-based visual artist who has dedicated her life's work to exposing the stories and experiences of individuals who are striving to overcome the injustices they face.

Standing in the Gap by Sophia Dawson (@iamwetpaint) is in the Dumbo area of Brooklyn, NYC.  It is part of Murals for the Movement, a public art initiative curated by Liza Quiñonez of Street Theory Gallery, and presented by the New York City Department of Transportation’s Art Program, in partnership with the Downtown Brooklyn + Dumbo Art Fund.

From the artist about the mural (from the information plaque)-

“The concept stems from the necessity to acknowledge the legacy of the generation that came before us that fought for our rights and freedom as we continue to contend for the destiny we deserve. It also speaks to the importance of spiritual warfare and how a battle must be won spiritually before it is won physically. — Sophia Dawson
