Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "A major reason she was unheard of for so long is because she did publicize what she did, she didn’t seek praise. Throughout the body of the piece are different symbols and objects to represent Irena and share her story, including dates such as when she was arrested. There are quotes sprawled across the piece, from herself as well as others."
