Shanoor depicts a grimacing figure in the throes of being strangled and adorns a crown of watchful eyes. This visual cacophony of symbolism engages concepts of human rights and social justice. Each eye represents the diversity of cultures who bear witness to the oppression of humanity. The artist’s use of bright colors and playful brush strokes are juxtaposed against the sober themes of the work, allowing the viewer a unique point of access to consider the many ongoing conflicts sparked by a failure to protect human rights, and the consequences of allowing such atrocities to endure.
