Problem I see is that most people will have no idea the context. They will need to post a sign explaining it. It’s a cool concept and well done. But I would never have any idea what it was just by looking at it.

Wouldn’t need a sign if the piece was actually well done

and the sign should include the photograph of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King.

That’s art. Even if you miss the intention of the artist, it evokes feelings. Then you read the sign and learn a bit more. I think the sculpture is the start. Each new piece of information makes the sculpture more beautiful. My first feeling was not beauty but as I learned more I liked it more. Now I love it, just like the love it expresses.

Good art, especially art that is trying to make a statement, should not require a big explainer next to it.

It's like how if you have to explain a joke it isn't a good joke.
