The Giant Triplet for Dr. King and Ewuare X Osayande is a collage by artist Theodore A. Harris in 2008. In his artwork he uses mixed media, I’m assuming its magazine cut outs and oil paint. In my opinion the subject of this artwork is the upside down Capitol Building located in the center of the three panels.

In the far right panel located at the top is a cut out of a dove with red paint splattered over it to look like blood. On top of the red paint and dove the word war is written. Below that there is a Capital One credit card with a war tank as the image on the credit card. Also another image of soldiers legs is repeated in the corner. At the bottom of this panel there is a man in the center holding a megaphone and saying something into it. In this panel the Capital One Credit Card is the focal point. This is due to its size and the legs and the man with the megaphone almost seem to be pointing at it.
Harris uses outlines in the background color around the magazine clippings to tie them to the background. In the background you can see his brush stroke which make the should be boring background
