Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "I chose a picture of Irena that showed both her love for and determination in helping children but illustrated it to reveal how hard and exhausting it was for her. She was strong- minded and ready to take on all the challenges she might face, and I represented both her iron will and her nurturing nature."
