Saint Emma is a song and digital print that revolve around American activist and advocate for gun control, Emma Gonz&aacute;lez.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Both the song and digital work of art are equally groundbreaking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The song is a 6 minute and 30-second hip hop ballad that uses live piano, a bone-chilling cello, and grim but sharp lyrics to touch on the dark subject of school shootings that is seen as a regular occurrence in America. Barber drives home the same message as Emma Gonz&aacute;lez which is enough is enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Barber creates a vivid image throughout the song about gun violence and Emma Gonz&aacute;lez. He paints her as someone who can end the mass shooting era, and he does so by playing on the political right&rsquo;s fear that she is coming to take away all the guns. Emma Gonz&aacute;lez has been both adored and crucified by the media and the American public. The praise or scrutiny for Ms. Gonz&aacute;lez is divided much like the left and right divide on gun control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The song paints a clear picture, but to drive home that message Barber&rsquo;s digital print showcases the layers of Emma Gonz&aacute;lez, her movement, and of course her naysayers including the NRA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The digital print is a remake of a painting created in 1850 by Adolphe-Alexandre Dillens is <em>The Capture of Joan of Arc<\/em>, and it depicts the capture of Joan of Arc by the Burgundians. Barber&rsquo;s new version has Gonz&aacute;lez being captured by the NRA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Barber is selling limited editions of the prints on his website with proceeds being donated to the March for Our Lives. The song has available for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon and GooglePlay. It also features 3 remix versions, and proceeds will again be donated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Barber released a statement on his website, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelbarber.org\/\">www.MichaelBarber.org<\/a> in regards to the print and songs.
