"Los Angeles is known for its beautiful sunsets and its cultural diversity. You will see people from different parts of the world walking around LA. LA is not perfect but there will always be someone will- ing to give you a hand. I used different colored skin tones with a reddish tint to not only represent different kinds of people but also to symbolize the beautiful sunsets we have in LA. The lines created by these colors go from the bottom left to to the top right where the person is. The direction of the hand is towards the palm trees to show even further that it is LA and directs your eyes to the message down below. That person which can be anyone, is giving a hand to anyone that might need it because we are in this together." -- Raymundo Barrientos
