Image Statement: Much of our identity lies in our autonomy. The Supreme Court's overturn of Roe v Wade in the summer of 2022 is an assault on a woman's right to decide for herself whether or not to adopt the life-changing role (identity) of mother. The iconic house shape, a symbol of domesticity, is repeated and strung together to evoke a fence, signifying the Court's decision as a breach of personal boundaries.
