We'll Walk Hand in Hand

The topic I focused on was Women's Rights, as a female we do have a lot to say. For this I created this painting. Women from many backgrounds are still fighting for rights, so their mouths are stitched to show their not fully having a say. The baby that is being held by the Ethiopian woman is showing the future, because it does not have stitches: therefore the future shows that women will have a say. The painting is enclosed by the black circle, meaning the eye. So it creates the allusion of someone looking through a window looking at these women.
