Artwork title : Come Tell Me My Body Isn't Mine

Come Tell Me My Body Isn’t Mine directly pertains to abortion rights and the dangers the citizens of the US are facing in a post-Roe society. Originally pertaining to the Supreme Court leak to Politico and now, the overturn of Roe v Wade, the piece exemplifies the dire need to take action for abortion rights and bodily autonomy. This installation educates viewers on what is happening now that abortion is not protected and has been made illegal in some states, including rises in maternal mortality rates, unsafe abortions, incarceration for miscarriages, and how it disproportionally affects economically disadvantaged and marginalized people. Viewers are encouraged to share their experiences and thoughts on abortion to bring audience interaction and perspective. Tell Me My Body Isn’t Mine creates an environment for viewers to comfortably question their beliefs and roles in people’s right to abortion and encourages them to have these hard conversations in their daily life.
