Roses, some appearing to be stained with red paint to resemble blood, were placed in a puddle outside the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis. This installation occurred during the trial of Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer charged with the murder of George Floyd. The trial, held in April 2021, drew significant national attention to issues of police brutality and racial justice.
