A part of the Jailbreak Series, which is an exploration of imprisonment—self-imposed and societal.

Our rights should never be up for debate. But while they are, we’ll be here—standing, speaking, and pushing back. This contemporary painting features Katharine McCormick, capturing her fierce dedication to women's rights and health autonomy. She stands in a poised, determined stance, symbolizing her role as a suffragette and advocate. Delicate, coded messages in the background subtly convey her commitment to organized resistance, allyship, and equality, evoking her legacy of smuggling contraceptives and her relentless fight for reproductive freedom and women’s empowerment.
