acrylic and collage; triptych, each panel 20×10″

My triptych confronts the unraveling of American democracy
The 1st panel speaks to censorship, the silencing of voices, the rewriting of history, and the denial of truth. Anchored in the First Amendment, its urgent call to action is to defend the right to speak, to question, and to dissent.
The 2nd panel speaks to dehumanization. Anchored in the Declaration of Independence’s promise of equality, unalienable rights, and human dignity, its urgent call to action is to defend those rights for all.
The 3rd panel speaks to the destruction of core tenets of the Constitution. Anchored in the presidential oath, its urgent call to action is to resist every constitutional violation, demand accountability, and impeach the President to uphold the rule of law and preserve the Constitution.
