“Red by the blood of our sisters is the first figurative piece I’ve made since COVID basically, and this is too big of a problem to ignore. My normal focus with my work deals with mental health advocacy and this topic of reproductive rights tie into mental health because how are we to discuss the trauma that will come as a result of forced pregnancy/the inability to have access to healthcare for people with uteruses. What are the mental repercussions of valuing the life of the unborn over the life of someone who already exists?”
