Inspired by the words of Audre Lorde, this piece reflects how women are too often silenced or choose silence in the face of oppression, leading to the false assumption of consent and agreement. While the figures portrayed hold equal prominence, it is Lady Liberty who is silenced by Uncle Sam, symbolizing the depth of patriarchy's oppression.
