The painting is a reimagining of Norman Rockwell's iconic 1943 work, "Freedom from Want", which depicted an American family Thanksgiving.
Manzano's version features a diverse group of people from various cultures and faiths gathered around a dinner table, with the Statue of Liberty and New York's skyline in the background.
The artist intended the piece to celebrate Thanksgiving and unity, a contrast to Rockwell's original context where his employer did not permit non-white individuals in prominent roles.
The painting includes a variety of cultural dishes alongside the traditional turkey, and incorporates the United Nations emblem on the tablecloth.
