This piece was created after investigating how having mental health struggles as a woman affected the relationships between my loved ones and myself. Specifically, I wanted to portray the complexity of my relationships to close family members as I dealt with feelings of depression and anxiety relating to womanhood.

Curator's notes: "Here, a woman, whose head and chest are covered in a red, white, and blue textile, holds her hand to her heart, as if to pledge allegiance. In light of the current climate, Coverly wanted to communicate how she feels silenced and invisible as an American woman. Using her mother’s hand as a model, she emphasizes intergenerational solidarity." - Hall W. Rockefeller
