This new "Uplift Justice" offset is based on a mural I painted in Philadelphia last year. It was important to me to create an image in Philly, a city often considered the birthplace of American democracy, that connects the ideals of the past with the questions we face today. Nearly 250 years after the founding of this country, we have an opportunity to ask ourselves what the next 250 years should look like—a continuation of where we're headed, or maybe a reset.
I chose a woman as the central figure because I see women as natural peacemakers, builders of family and community—the qualities we need most right now. My hope is that this art invites people to reflect on justice, history, and the values that guide us today and into the future.
