Showcasing themes of gender equality, this illustration is a striking piece designed with social movements or thought-provoking articles in mind. The artwork captures a riveting scene of two girls immersed in a chess game, a bold move of toppling the King piece symbolizing their challenge to patriarchal norms. The exploration of binary identities is further emphasized through the strategic use of contrasting colors, orange and blue, creating dynamic situational states that invite deeper interpretation.
