This Tristan Eaton print is a dense, symbol-heavy work that uses the raised fist—universally recognized as a symbol of resistance, solidarity, and empowerment—as its central motif. Eaton layers it with a collage of cultural, political, and historical imagery to comment on power, struggle, and the fight for justice.

Some of the elements I notice:

• Votes for Women banner – highlights historical struggles for equality and civil rights.

• Brutality Department patch & riot control grenade – critiques state power and violence.

• Panther and “All Power to the People” – references the Black Panther Party and civil rights activism.

• Tank and war imagery – commentary on militarization and global conflict.

• Skull motifs and weapon imagery – the danger and cost of resistance.

• Peace dove with arrow – the tension between peace and conflict.

• Stylized faces and pop culture icons – perhaps reflecting society, identity, or consumer culture in the mix.

By combining these symbols, Eaton seems to convey that resistance, empowerment, and activism are multifaceted: they involve struggle, historical context, awareness of injustice, and cultural identity. The raised fist becomes not just a single statement, but a central hub connecting movements, warnings, and calls to action.

Thanks to @theboovier for making me aware of Tristan’s work.
