Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "This artwork and learning about Carl gave me new hope and a newfound willingness to sacrifice my own desires for the needs of others. I was inspired by how he was the face of hope, and I hope that I can bring that to my peers around me by putting them before myself."
