He says the reason for this is to inspire originality, non-conformity, and the desire for the youth to fully express themselves and change the world regardless of their demographics, race, or space in which they find themselves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 11.8\" x 11.8\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43476300333313,"sku":"MTP014","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/7377\/0416\/products\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-14-at-12.13.08-PM-website_list.jpg?v=1665776989","url":"https:\/\/roam-a-xtina-parks-gallery.myshopify.com\/products\/isikhothane","provider":"ROAM A Xtina Parks Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
