The feminist themes in my work grasp the root of the problems faced since the dawn of patriarchy. One issue is access to body knowledge – my main example is the forgotten ancient herb, Daucus carota, whose seeds can be used as a safe morning-after pill and even as birth control. The continued feminist struggle compelled me to start a project making protective shields adorned with words from feminist writers. This action is done not only to honor and remember them, but worked as a spell to reignite the strength of these thoughts into our present world.
