This shape is based on the cartouche’s, of Egypt. Instead of hieroglyphics, the symbols on the piece represent women’s fight for equal rights.

Justice, For Women
These bas reliefs started after I spent a month traveling in Egypt. In many of the ruins panels of hieroglyphics told stories of history, often of war and sometimes of oppression. With these in mind, I created these modern-day panels that include symbols of justice for women, immigrants, and people of color in the United States. I imagine these panels on the wall of someone who is engaged in activation in the name of justice for all.
