These vessels were born out of frustration and quiet rage. With the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, and the dismantling of 50 years of protection, I found myself feeling hopeless and helpless. Abortion’s illegality turned from a right to a privilege. And while proportionality it hurts those that are economically and socially more vulnerable, this lack of choice – this lack of human rights – will affect everyone.

Using pun and satire as an access point, I am expressing my anger, my hurt, my worry, my frustrations about being a woman in today’s world. My drawings serve as placards – as billboards – for my politics. The images are subverted and beautifully rendered to showcase pride, hope, and solidarity in this troubled time.
