Artist Statement:

As a black woman, mother, and veteran I am deeply impacted by war and abortion. While in service I witnessed the utter disregard for human life, especially for those who are poor or “un-American.” This piece speaks for all types of war on humans, but more specifically for those who are regarded as “different” and have been held back by society and privilege. Let the babies be born and given equal opportunity, no matter their race, religion, or background.
