Inspired by the events in Ferguson and the ongoing war on black and brown people by the police, Rise Up expresses a mixture of anger, sadness, fierce love, power and struggle.

They are dyed with onion skins in honor of the Palestinian activists tipping off Ferguson activists during the protests about the use of onions to combat teargas. Mixed media installation: wind, light, cotton, canvas, silk, ink, hemp
