Note:
"Multi-Colored Abst[r]act depicting minorities in background. Gold-yellow line symbolizes color barrier in advertisement
and film industries. This abstract was created after observing first hand, how the media (adver[t]ising & film) reduces minorities
to 'Props & Scenery' in ads and/or films. The absence of people of color, particularly in front of the camera, in the adver[t]ising
& film world is alive and well in Los Angeles. The abstract here is the background is full of color yet there is a color
barrier represented by the yellow-gold line in the foreground." Colors used: Blue, Red, Yellow, Orange, Lt. Purple, Dark
Purple, and Black. # Prints:2.
