My work attacks the falsehood presented in Norman Rockwell's 1943 work titled "Freedom from Want" of the "Four Freedoms" series inspired by FDR’s speech. Initially pitched to the War Department & rejected by the Office of War Information, his work was done for the Saturday Evening Post. Norman’s work was used by the media & the Federal Government to push the false narrative that all will have food abundance & unfettered wealth. 80 years later, my work offers a view of where we might be in 2043 under current government immigration & policing policies coupled with the continuance of today’s deepening racial and political divide. When side-by-side to Norman’s, this work highlights an absence of kids, of food & abundance, and presents a world of scarcity, one where even the wealthy are not insulated.

This RESIST print addresses current issues regarding women's reproductive rights as well as my prediction of the future if we do not resist now. The woman is being forced to carry her pregnancy. Her every step is policed by drones. Her body criminalized. If we do not resist with like strength and fortitude, I predict a world where Hospitals will support H.A.R.R.T. & F.P.A. (Hospitals Against Reproductive Rights & Treatment and the Fertilization Protection Agency) where they refuse treatment and enforce Ca, Texas, and Louisiana bills such as SB 8, Act 548, HB 813, Trap Laws and more that force women to keep children against their will. We MUST RESIST now!!
