Amidst the noise and negativity that often pervade social media platforms, one of our artists from Artist Anonymous, who would like to be referred to as "Guide," captures the essence of innocence, wonder, and admiration.
Depicting The Little Mermaid surrounded by a group of awe-struck children, Guide’s artwork serves as a powerful counterpoint to the unwarranted attacks faced by the talented actress, Halle Bailey, who portrays Ariel. It encapsulates the transformative power of positive representation, reminding us of the profound impact fictional characters can have on shaping young minds and fostering empathy.
Children possess a remarkable ability to embrace diversity and find inspiration in characters who may not fit conventional molds. The image of these young minds looking up at The Little Mermaid, unburdened by prejudice, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of fostering inclusivity and positive representation.
By celebrating characters like Ariel, who break barriers and challenge established norms, we empower the next generation to appreciate and value diversity in all its forms.
