The Rebellious Life of Rosa Parks

Client:  Peacock
Role: Digital illustration
Year: 2022
Format: Key Art for Broadcast & PrintIn creating key art for "The Rebellious Life of Rosa Parks" documentary, I envisioned a powerful, evocative piece intertwining the elegance of roses with the unyielding spirit of Rosa Parks. The composition centers around a dignified portrait of Rosa, her gaze firm and resolved, symbolizing her steadfast resistance against racial injustice. Surrounding her, an array of roses in full bloom, their thorns representing the struggles and hardships she faced, while their beauty reflects the profound impact of her actions on civil rights. This juxtaposition not only honors her legacy but also encapsulates the essence of her rebellion—graceful yet unbreakable.
