"Set Ablaze,” new work by Debra Lott, features figurative paintings that empower women and reflect upon the human experience through socially conscious themes, communicating human values and emotions. The exhibit highlights marginalized women, specifically redheads, who make up 1% of the population and often face bullying or 'gingerism.' Select paintings address current issues affecting women’s reproductive health, including in-vitro fertilization and birth control.

These two paintings explore the clash between past traditions and contemporary issues in women's reproductive health. By blending Victorian elements with modern symbols, they emphasize the absurdity of current threats to women's rights. These works make a statement about the dangers of rolling back women's rights to a bygone era.

In "Back to the Future, In-Vetro," the Victorian setting of antique chair and dress contrasts sharply with the modern sneakers. Her pose highlights her defiance. The petri dish with a chicken egg emphasizes the impossibility and irrationality of trying to control reproduction through outdated or inappropriate means.

"Throw Back, 1864" also uses historical imagery to critique contemporary issues. The pink apron and "Handmaid's Tale" bonnet symbolize the regression of women's rights, while the feminist symbol and modern pink hair color express resistance. The "choices" of reproductive rights on the dinner plate suggest that these rights are being served up as mere options rather than fundamental freedoms. The open windows in the background create a lack of privacy, alluding to the ongoing surveillance and control over women's bodies.
