Good evening everyone! 😃
I submitted an image that I took during my pilot study last summer to the AAA photo contest this year! 📷 This is one of the first visual component of my research that I'm trying to incorporate into my dissertation work. If you have a chance, could you please vote for my image with a love, likes, or cares to be one of the 12 images selected for the calendar.
Thank you! I appreciate it tremendously!
Sending you the sweetest of wishes,
Mirtha 💗

Title: Justice for Samuel! Justice for All!

Caption: Toy figurines with the pride flag were placed in front of a street sign in Valencia, Spain, as an act of protest and call for justice for the LGBTQ+ hate crime against Samuel Luiz Muñis who had been killed two days earlier.

ID: One small blonde lego type figurine dressed in blue clothing, while having both arms raised, stands in front of a stack of rectangular legos. The stack of legos has different rows of colors in the form of the rainbow pride flag (which consist of purple legos at the bottom, followed by the colors: blue, green, yellow, orange and red). A small dark hair lego type figurine dressed in yellow stands on top of the stacks of legos with a raised arm. Across the stacked legos there is a phrase written in Spanish/Castilian that says “Justice Samuel”. The figurines and other pieces are located under a blue street sign named "Calle Juristas.” The street sign and figurines are placed in front of a beige wall.
