"For Stacey Abrams" are positive flowers to thank the woman who had the most positive effect on the US this year. The rest of the flowers in this series are like the stones Jews leave on graves...I feel too privileged to paint portraits and exploit the sorrow of those cut down by racist police violence. But I can send flowers.
