A photograph of four colorful stickers in a white sage bush. Each sticker has its own narrative, with a colored background, and a collage of various flowers, butterflies. Some include a drawing of my light brown hands: One is baby blue and reads “Together we shape liberation” a images of flowers, butterflies, and hands.
