A lone figure stands crowned and barefoot against a field of gold, arms raised, a red heart burning at the center of the chest, with the words "We the People Are King" hand-lettered down the sides. It rewrites the language of the constitution as a blessing rather than a law — the crown taken off the head of power and handed to the ordinary person. Raw, frontal, and unmistakably regal, it insists that sovereignty belongs to the people who were never told they had it. The gold ground does the rest, turning a street-painted figure into an icon.
