Portrait, Men, Mythology, Description: This image depicts "Atlas". The print portrays a naked black man on one knee with a globe sitting on his head. This piece can either represent the metaphoriccarrying the weight of the world on your shoulders," to the more historical interpretation of how entire nations and economies were upheld by unpaid Black labor.
