"I took a picture of this fountain to get a message out. This photo shows how everything around the neighborhood needs to always be in bars and chains, because of the many crimes around the neighborhood like robbery or violence between people or gangs. The shadows show all the negativity from the outside. The boy in the fountain makes me feel struggle like the people who have been through a lot of drama because of the negativity in the neighborhood. This photo also shows that there shouldn't be a reason to hide the beautiful hope and arts like this fountain or the windows, which shouldn't be locked in. I feel the neighborhood should be a place to show its colors and beauty instead of hide it."
