The artwork titled “US Family Separation Policy,” created by Noma Bar in 2018, falls under the Neo-Pop Art movement and belongs to the design genre.
In the artwork, Noma Bar employs minimalist design to convey a powerful message about the US family separation policy. The composition features vertical red stripes, reminiscent of the American flag, symbolizing imprisonment or barriers. Among the stripes, a blue field forms the silhouette of a child’s profile, with a single white star positioned as a tear falling from their eye. The artwork is affiliated with Amnesty International, as indicated by the logo and name displayed in the bottom left corner. The poignant imagery critiques the harsh implications of family separation, using stark contrasts and negative space to emphasize themes of isolation and distress.
