“Untitled, Collage” by Serenity Pierre-Louis, Hope High School

This collage was made with clippings from magazines and children’s books. At the bottom of the collage, you can see the ocean and the boat burning, representing the burning of the Gaspee. The person in the boat says “It could be anything,” because the British couldn’t figure out who burned the Gaspee. The “lady wanted” sign at the top of the collage symbolizes King George’s call in the Gaspee Proclamation for the colonists responsible. “Make the Global” is meant to show the global power the British had at the time. The purple on the side represents water splashing and the royal purple, while the text in the background gives the piece the old-time feel of the Revolution.
