About: “Defined by no man, you are your own story, Blazing through the world, turning history into herstory. And when they dare to tell you about. All the things you cannot be, You smile and tell them, ‘I am both war and woman and you cannot stop me.’” --Nikita Gill

About: Samuel’s wife. Charlie’s girlfriend. Ethan’s mother. She has a name. A possessive noun should not be the first thing to describe her.

About: This piece was inspired from the Kavanaugh/ Dr. Ford Senate hearing. Women have historically been punished for being honest about being sexually assaulted. At the end of the hearing and with the announcement of Kavanaugh as the new Supreme Court Justice, I was reminded of the mythological story of Medusa. Medusa was raped and her punishment for it was being turned into a hideous monster.

About: This wall between men and women has significantly lessened over time; however, it is still there. In this piece, the female figure is growing above it. She rises above social constraints. She does not let this wall impede her.

About: In this piece, the figure’s vines are shown to be tangling little men holding guns. She is taking away their weapons and the violence that goes with them. In 2018, the total number of deaths by gun violence in the US was 14,646, with 57,206 recorded incidents. Too many sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, mothers, and fathers have been stolen from their families. This needs to end. We can all help in this change. Vote. Talk to people who strongly defend guns. Protest. Make work about it. Share your thoughts on the internet. Be active. It’s time for change.

About: In Greek mythology, Medusa was described as a wicked woman with venomous snakes in place of her hair and with a gaze which turned men into stone. Medusa was originally known to be a beautiful maiden, whose looks gained the aspiration of many suitors. However, one day she was raped by the god of the sea, Poseidon, in Athena’s temple. Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, was so outraged by the defilement of her temple, that she turned Medusa into a hideous monster. This was her punishment for being a victim of rape, and it was considered in these tales to be a just and well earned sentence. Poseidon was not punished. In this piece, instead of snakes, flowers replace her hair. Her vines wrap themselves around the bodies of tiny men. She is fighting back. She is speaking up.

About: This piece is about putting a magnifying glass on the importance of each life. When those in the government dehumanize immigrants, speaking about them as though they are animals, it has a reverberating effect across this country. People have begun to think they can treat immigrants as such. This horrific behavior has continually extended to children. We have heard of the deaths of children at the border, abuse from the border control agents, and continuing family separation. No more building walls between humans. We are all one, made of flesh, bones, and blood. The only thing a wall will do is cause more hate, more sorrow, more racism, and more loss of lives.

About: “Everyone wants a strong woman, Until she actually stands up, Flexes her muscles, Projects her voice, Suddenly, she is too much. She has forgotten her place. You love those women, as ideas, fantasies, Not as breathing, living humans, Threatening to be even better, Than you could ever be.”― Ari Eastman

About: This piece was inspired by the notion of a glass ceiling for women. The glass ceiling is a metaphor used to depict the invisible barrier that keeps a group of the population from rising above a certain point in the workforce. Today, in the states, women graduate from college at higher percentages than men, however, women still earn less money. According to a Pew Research Center analysis “the gender gap in pay has narrowed since 1980, but it has remained relatively stable over the past 15 years or so. In 2017, women earned 82% of what men earned.” In this piece, instead of being held back by a glass ceiling, the woman put these restraints in a jar.

About: In these three tiny pieces, the men are working together to cut away these notions of female delicacy. Women are not roses. Women are not delicate. We do not blossom and then wilt depending on external elements such as weather and time. If anything we are weeds. We will grow back no matter how many times you cut us down.
