Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Throughout Couney’s entire career, his drive to help the infants always overpowered greed, status, and recognition. The bare background made of a soft blend of blues, greens, and browns is also meant to direct the viewer’s attention to Couney and the baby and emphasize a genuine care that fueled his mission."
