A Found Poem and a Sketch: The Smashed Crown!

This story caught my eye while scrolling through the New York Times. I keep an eye out for media moments that feel cathartic or (unintentionally?) silly, and this image was both for me. A smashed crown is a cathartic image in a moment when people in power are abusing their power. And the crown looks pretty silly (but also sumptuously beautiful for sketching).

(Catherine Porter wrote the story and Thomas Clot took the picture.)
