Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Most people, in the face of conflict and violence, would run away to save themselves. I would also be in that group of people. L. Alex Wilson, on the other hand, decided to play his role and stand up for those who couldn’t. Having been inspired by him would be an understatement. Throughout this assignment, I’ve grown to realize the importance of focusing more on the collective good rather than personal recognition or accolades."
