I illustrated Chelsea Manning as Joan of Arc. I thought it is a fitting metaphor because they both went to war in Mesopotamia as men, but in reality were women underneath. They both were persecuted and Manning is also an objectively heroic figure that Joan of Arc is often portrayed as. They stand for different ideas and I tried to put different things that to me represent what is unique about her. I hope she can be free again as soon as possible and wish her success in her political career going forward.
