In December of 2017 officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention whose job is protecting the most vulnerable population, was ordered , by the current administration , to stop using seven (7) words including "Vulnerable” in 2018 budget document.

The seven banned words on that list are: Diversity, Fetus, Transgender, Vulnerable, Entitlement, Science Based and Evidence Based. 

Vulnerable was finally completed in early 2018. This piece is a true labor of love that took a whole year from start to finish. When I initially started working on a Butterfly piece in late 2016 I didn't have a final work in mind and coming into 2018 I felt like I needed to get some thoughts out of my head and Vulnerable was born. (See also Transgender).
