I was commissioned to illustrate the key art for the 2020-21 LMU Bellarmine Forum, “Building Transformative Justice Where We Stand.” The LMU Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts organized this series of workshops, public events, and lectures to facilitate a deeper understanding of theories of justice to address issues of violent policing and incarceration in the United States.
