'I was approached by Greg to come up with the design for a "Stop and Search" artwork as he had seen a banner at a march. I liked one of his suggestions of "Stop and Search Your Heart" as we are in a time where many people need to look within themselves. What are they so afraid of? I hope the billboards remind those in power, those we are meant to trust for protection, to stop and look deep inside and search for their humanity. I want this poster to remind our police to look at Black men as a man, a brother, a husband, a dad, a human and not a threat. I want them to find their compassion, that place of love that lives within all of us.' (Harkiran Kalsi)
