Hi Gwen Like others have mentioned- this could technically be considered "political".
However, thats the least of my concerns as social science is not political science. I would only consider this "politicised" in recent times, rather than "political". I say you should be fine, although I carry no authority on the art or copyright or goals of the project. Also- all this image appears to be intended to do is have puffy holding a progress flag. This would be a rather simple GIMP job, especially cos both of these pieces of art are fairly easy to come by online. (could be as simple as drag and drop and a mask over the fin). You don't really need to generate any new images, just compose two images together. But- for some reason there is a strange glow on the puffy art (despite looking very similar to the official art), and the lines are sorta fuzzy and messy. I can't help but infer this was made by a GAN, and if so, *that* would be your legal pitfall. Please make this in GIMP so at the very least you don't get accused of AI-art and copyright abuse.
