"Let me be myself" is a graffiti made by a Brazilian street artist named Eduardo Kobra. It was painted in Amsterdam in 2016. Eduardo Kobra has made over 3000 murals all over the world and he is known for using vibrant colors in his huge murals. He was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1975 where he began making his murals before becoming world-famous.

Eduardo Kobra's style and technique are based on painting portraits of different people while using many bright colors on his graffiti. They are often quite political or somehow meaningful and large in size. Kobra used over 450 spray cans and 35 liters of lacquer paint for this graffiti.

I chose this picture because I was impressed with the colorful appearance of this huge graffiti. Also, the text "Let me be myself" combined with the happy expression of Anne Frank made me want to know the meaning of this piece of art.

The graffiti is cropped to show the face of Anne Frank and her body is left outside of it. I think that this was made to concentrate on her expression of happiness. You can see a text "Let me be myself" at the top which gives the graffiti a meaningful and powerful message. I think that the cropping was made well and there wouldn't be a reason to for example show her whole body instead of her face.

I think that the message of this graffiti is equality and world peace. Eduardo Kobra probably wanted to remind people that everyone is equal despite everything and that nobody should be discriminated against because of any physical, ethnic, or religious feature. I think that is why Kobra chose to paint a portrait of Anne Frank because her fate is a good example of history what might happen if we think otherwise.
