"Owned" 48" x 60"h

Rural isn’t a monoculture
It’s a multi-layered culture of stolen, then redistributed, land
Owned then sold.

Men worked to show their worth
Women denied as a critical component of the earth

Earth has been for sale
Valued for its meat, fertility, and provisions

Broken into pieces like a shattered vessel no longer able to hold a bouquet of roses

Much less sustainable for the people, animals and other vegetation.
