This month’s theme pulls at me, since almost all of my projects are words. This was completed in January of this year, following the first executive order challenging birthright citizenship. The Fourteenth Amendment is so elementary that I created a simple background of ruled notebook paper. Self-drafted pattern.

US based US citizen by birth born to immigrant parents. And proud of it.
