In light of the ongoing pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, some artists have posted photos of their own “symbols of resistance” online via the hashtag #UmbrellaRevolution.
The protests were dubbed as the “Umbrella Revolution” due to the prevalent use of umbrellas by the protesters as they protected themselves from the police’s tear gas and pepper spray.
A handful of artists posted their illustrations of these umbrellas, together with elements of the “yellow ribbon”, to symbolize their unity and resistance towards the current situation.
Check out the powerful illustrations done by these artists below.
