"No Mans Land
In response to Roe Vs Wade being overturned, “No Man’s Land” was created to show all the ideals and traits that are carved into girls and women in today's world. Many of these things are from decades of suppression and ideas of what a girl is supposed to be like. As a reminder of what the strength of many can accomplish we layered over all these phrases and concepts thrust upon us at birth are positives. Leaders and movements have been and are fighting for equality, to overcome the oppressions of our gender. It is important to acknowledge what has been passed down to us, as well as appreciate those who have fought to get us where we are today. With time, the outdated ideas of “women” will fade, and be replaced with the ideals and independence brought to us by strong women who demonstrate the power and potential we all have within us.
