This image of a woman’s legs scattered with long stem red roses in a bathtub hints at the complexity of love or hopeful feeling. Literary references underscore this complexity. The title refers to James Baldwin’s 1963 book that gave voice to the growing civil rights movement.  According to Baldwin, if we fail to solve the issue of racial inequality, our civilization will see destruction. The inscription on the photograph comes from the British graphic novel V for Vendetta that explores a dystopian future. One senses tension between the sensitive and vulnerable visual image and societal evil inferred by the quotes.

Esta imagen de las piernas de una mujer con los pies entrelazados con rosas rojas de tallo largo  en una bañera insinúa la complejidad de los sentimientos de amor o esperanza. Esta complejidad está subrayada por sus referencias literarias. El título se refiere al libro de 1963 de James Baldwin que dio voz al movimiento naciente de derechos civiles. Según Baldwin, si no resolvemos la desigualdad racial, nuestra civilización verá la destrucción. La inscripción en la fotografía proviene de la novela gráfica británica V de Vendetta que explora un futuro distópico. Se percibe la tensión entre la imagen visual sensible y vulnerable y el mal social inferido por por el título y las frases citadas.
