Summer: Portrait "Pepper"

A freedom fighter from Hong Kong who calls herself Pepper and demonstrated with hundreds of thousands of others in 2019 against the "Extradition Law", which was intended to massively restrict Hong Kong's autonomy from China and undermine democratic freedom through the Chinese power apparatus. Despite the mass protests, the law, which was criticised by large parts of the world, was passed. Thousands of protesters have been imprisoned in China or are now living in exile like "Pepper". As Pepper remains anonymous in the relevant documentaries and can only be seen wearing a mask, she is portrayed from behind. In this way, she is also representative of all freedom fighters who must remain anonymous due to their activism.
