"That act of defiance reminded me of the Tiananmen Square 1989 'Tank Man', and I felt that the umbrella and the defiant pose was very symbolic and iconic in the same way tank man was," said one of the designers, Angelo Costadimas, to the South China Morning. Angelo is Hong Kong-based artist, filmmaker and educator.
