Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "True heroism transcends superhuman abilities; it lies in the willingness to take bold action and extend a helping hand to those in need. In an era increasingly preoccupied with individual pursuits and self-interest, I aspire for our society to cultivate a culture of selflessness and compassion, where acts of kindness are regarded as paramount. I hope my artwork acts as a stepping stone for this change and impact in our community."
