Patricia Qualls USA, b. 1954

Painted with tears and a heavy heart, this 8-foot canvas is a sacred prayer for women’s lives and bodily autonomy. Patricia Qualls created this work after the tragic death of a mother who was denied life-saving medical care due to new legislation—a loss that resonated deeply with Patricia’s own history working in Romanian orphanages under a dictatorship. This piece is a spirited stand against the dehumanization of women, serving as a monument to the courage of patients, doctors, and nurses alike. It is a profound call for empathy, reminding us that "women's work" includes the brave act of standing up for one another’s basic rights and dignity.
