Portait of 30-year-old Iza for Wysokie Obcasy.
For those of you, who are unfamiliar with the situation in Poland, Iza died of septic shock in a Pszczyna hospital after doctors chose to let her non-viable fetus die in the womb rather than remove it, a medical decision that was driven by fear of Polish restrictive new law on abortion
The illustration was drawn and coloured in PS with Wacom CintiQ.
