The traditional Irish Claddagh was the inspiration for this
series of social justice 4" x 4" stencils by Laurie Mika.
The Crowned Hands Stencil by Laurie Mika is a variation of an
Irish Claddagh, representing love, friendship, and loyalty. The script inside the crown reads "B Lives M" for Black Lives Matter. The shaking hands in black
and white represent unity.

The inspiration for Laurie Mika’s Hands Forming Hearts Stencil
came from a visit to the doctor's office where there was a Covid public service
announcement to wear masks and it struck her that this was a perfect symbol to
create in black and white. Love conquers all.

The clenched fist has become the iconic symbol
for the struggle for equal justice.

The Claddagh Stencil is full of symbolism: the heart represents love, the hands represent friendship and the crown represents loyalty.

Very interesting concept - turning the Irish claddagh into a social justice emblem.
