This piece of artwork is one of many pieces within a mini-series that 2$ON explores. 2$ON's range in mediums will be fully shared in his complete series titled "In my mamas house". But the phrase " Freedom is the only desire" is a neon light that is seen in various pieces of artwork within the complete series. 2$ON engages with his perspective of past and present. While explaining it through his pop art style and rebellious medium range. This piece on display titled (F.I.T.O.D) is a protest piece for freedom. The primary focus of this piece is to glorify the phrase while sharing the space with supporting images like the acronym BLK RBL. It's short for Black Rebel Forever. It is the brand that all of 2$ON's work lives under. Images of faces marked out are constant within his complete series. The woman you see is used as a symbol for happiness. Her smile says it all. 2$ON defines himself as a Black Rebel living in a capitalistic matrix that doesn't respect the freedom for all people. His work calls on the radical thinkers that want to discuss the moral direction of the human race. He just has fun with colors and imagery to convey that message.
