This piece is titled “Honoring the Lost: No More Silence.” I created it to honor the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women daughters, mothers, sisters whose stories often go unheard. The red handprint is a powerful symbol of that silence, and of the urgent need to remember, to acknowledge, and to speak their names.
The woman in the image carries both strength and sorrow in her gaze. She represents not just one person, but generations of Native women past, present, and future. The feathers, the colors, the patterns they’re all tied to tradition and identity. They’re meant to ground her in who she is, and who we are as a people.
This artwork isn’t meant to shout it’s meant to hold space. To invite reflection. To quietly say: these lives mattered. They still do. And through remembrance, we carry them forward.
I created this with deep respect and love. It’s not just a portrait it’s a prayer. A promise not to forget.
