Women have always been punished for the simple act of questioning and/or saying no...

In the biblical narrative, Lot’s Wife was turned into a "glistening token" of salt for the "sin" of looking back—for witnessing the destruction of her family and home rather than blindly obeying the path ahead demanded by her husband.

I began this series, Wilderness of Salt, during a traumatic period in my own life. It was a way to psychologically connect to the greater whole of womanhood—from Eve to Typhoid Mary—women who have borne the burdens of a patriarchal society and the "unhappy consequences" of their own patriarchally perceived bad decisions.

Today, as we navigate the rise of Christian Nationalism and a legal and social framework designed to return women to a state of "domestic subjection," I’m returning to her story. In a world that still turns a blind eye to systemic abuse, "disobedience" in 2026 is often just another word for refusing to ignore the truth.
