Created by Brittany Wiest, an incarcerated artist serving a long sentence in Tennessee, “Misjudged” is a deeply emotional and evocative piece. Rendered in vibrant colored ink, this artwork portrays a woman shedding golden tears, with words like “Misjudged,” “Broken,” “Used,” and “Grieving” etched into her skin and soul. Flames, a broken heart, and skulls frame the composition, symbolizing inner turmoil, loss, and resilience.

The delicate blend of vivid colors and raw emotion invites viewers to confront themes of pain, abandonment, and the strength to endure. Brittany’s talent and expression reflect her unique perspective and her ability to channel personal struggles into powerful art.

Proceeds from this artwork support Designed Conviction’s mission, amplifying the voices of incarcerated individuals and showcasing the transformative power of creativity.
