She made up her mind to get free

Breaking the Chains, Embracing the Stars

Kelley Prevard (2023)

Hear the artist’s story.

Three generations of women, representing the past, present, and future, embrace in a star-filled archway as if in a portal to another dimension—one in which all women are empowered. Above shines the North Star, which Harriet Tubman used to liberate herself and many others.

In the background, patterns represent interconnectedness, with the gingko leaf symbolizing the remembrance of women’s contributions throughout history. In the second panel, below Harriet Tubman’s quote, a hawk emerges from the shadows, a symbol of freedom, strength, and power.
