    Painting shows landscape with 6 cacti, 5 dead, one alive. Below ground sprouts dead roots from each seed except for the alive plant. To the side is a disabled arm and hand planting a seed. On the arm the words “It is accessible?” are written. Lower painting shows an underground scene where roots from the living cacti wrap around connecting images of disability activism. A sign says, “we’re here we’re disabled get used to it!” Another is a photo of the threads of resistance quilt from Corbett Otoole showing photos of disabled people of color. A group protests and blocks an inaccessible bus and disabled people crawl up to the steps of the capitol. In the lower left-hand corner of the painting are the words “Resistance is fertile.”
