Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "At the center of the painting, the adult Equiano gently hands his younger sister a copy of his newly published book. In that moment, he looks back with a bittersweet expression…embodying both pride in how far he had come and sorrow for all that had been lost from his childhood."
