Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "In keeping the core of my piece gray scale to imitate Alice’s own photographs, the hints of color hold great value. The blue of the Congolese represents trust, responsibility, and freedom. The pink-red of Alice represents compassion, courage, and admiration. The green of the background represents growth and rejuvenation. In whole, the image represents strength."
