Original artwork description:

Even though I am not a religious person, I admire Pope Francis’ humane tenacity since he was elected in 2013. The expression of blowing dandelion puffs has given me the opportunity to express my wish that universal acceptance of others will come true someday; the dandelion and puffs are a symbol of ordinary people and the spreading of the civil rights movement.

The yellow color signifies new hope and the green color signifies nature, luck, renewal, and youth. I hope other leaders are inspired by the Pope's words and actions and that more people will speak up for the truth. Therefore, the truth can come to light eventually to change for a better world.
