Artist Bio
Danielle SeeWalker is Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta and citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota. She is a visual artist, activist, muralist, and author.

Additional Information
A woman with a charcoal face is vacant of features with the exception of one eye and lines drawn over her face stares ahead as her bright red braids are suspended in the air. Where her mouth should be, there are colorful squares that are similar the blurry squares used to censor people's mouth on television when they are speaking. This is directly related to the title. The woman is in a grey garment with a repeated pattern that can be seen in other works by Danielle SeeWalker when she is depicting women that are meant to draw attention to the experience of Native Americans.
