A recreation of the famed floral headpiece of Marsha P. Johnson - a transgender activist often credited with throwing the first brick during the Stonewall Riots. 

In honor of artist B. Parker and the trans community's call to "give us our roses while we're still here", yellow roses, symbolizing joy, celebration, and pleasure, were distributed to transgender community members.
