Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "In the illustration, Susan holds a white stethoscope in her right hand, a reference to her vocation and career, while her left hand, which is closer to her heart, extends toward the window, behind which is her reflection in Native American clothing, which does not represent her past, but also the present and future of the Omaha tribe and Susan's devotion to that community."
