Artwork Description

Emerging from the Flames

0.0 x 0.0

Forged by fire, this goddess rises triumphant with her crown of golden light. Stronger than before, honed by life’s experiences. Transformation is never easy—and all the more difficult for those who are perceived as “other.” The worldwide demonstrations following the death of George Floyd and other black Americans have touched me deeply. These events have led me to examine both my white privilege AND what it means to be black in America and have led to a global examination of equality and justice. Watching thousands of multi-aged, multi-racial, multi-cultural demonstrators declare that "Black Lives Matter" has given me renewed hope that we can finally tip the scales toward justice and emerge into a world that fosters understanding for all.
