Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "When crafting my piece for this admirable competition, I yearned to create something that depicted the imperfections and obstacles that Jacob Valentine faced on his way to finding his heroic qualities. Therefore, I wanted to keep this as simple as possible while still keeping intricate details that display the small aspects this operation entailed which ended up coming together as one expansive image."
