Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "The entire figure of Dion is constructed from thousands of individual ink dots, built up painstakingly through stippling with a single black pen....Alone, each dot is insignificant, but collectively they form a powerful image. This mirrors Dion’s approach to activism: through each small act of resistance, like sit-ins, arrests, and freedom rides, a larger picture of social transformation is created."
