Alliance (RD-3) interrupts the constellation with a declaration: “I AM A MAN.” The phrase, repeated across protest signs held by a crowd of grayscale figures, is not metaphor—it is truth. A refusal to be reduced, a demand to be seen. The image references the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike, but here it transcends history. It becomes a mirror held to the viewer—a reality that can be acknowledged or ignored.
