- A Thousand Witches Series -
This illustration—a portrait and personal gift for a friend—honors the more than 50,000 women, many of them healers, wise women, or simply different, who were executed in Europe and the Americas between the 15th and 18th centuries during the so-called witch hunts. Beneath the guise of moral righteousness, these trials were often driven by political motives, personal vendettas, local power struggles or crushing superstition. With this series of illustrations, I aim to pay tribute to all those who fell at the hands of abusive power—power that, in the name of good and justice, strips us of our freedom.
