Equal Rights, The Flower of Democracy

Women are the target of voter suppression and the backbone of movements pushing for ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) and progressive ideals. The figure in the poster personifies the deeply intertwined nature of Black history and women's history. Equality is more of an issue of the heart than politics—it's about understanding and care. Supporting the ERA comes from my concern for human rights.

My artistic style blends Art Nouveau with 1960s and 70s psychedelia, referencing the San Francisco artists who worked in the Haight-Ashbury promoting music concerts and events. I hope this egalitarian message inspires people to care for each other and propel the political sphere forward to achieving universal, equal rights.
