This painting was inspired by the NYT's article about Brittany Griner, the WNBA basketball player who is being wrongfully held in Russia. Griner, who plays for the Phoenix Mercury, was detained in Russia on accusations that she had hashish oil in her luggage and is now facing 10 years in prison. She recently wrote a plea letter to President Biden for her recovery, and has since pleaded guilty, saying "I’d like to plead guilty, your honor. But there was no intent. I didn’t want to break the law."
