Know: Sense of Hope

To hear Audio Description of artwork click on "MOV" Icon

"Know" is a poignant addition to the series inspired by my work with displaced families after hurricanes and floods. It was pointed out to me by several observers and then recognized by myself, that this image is a reflection of myself. The realization underscores the power of art and how art can evoke personal introspection and connection to our lives. Through the bond of art we are able to find a sense of compassion, solidarity and above all, HOPE. In the moments of frustration and overwhelming sense of loss while working with these families I remind myself that the work is far beyond me and I can become the "Holder of Hope".
