Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Instead of the people in the pictures I drew other things that represented Irena Sendler and her story. The Perfect Mason jar is what gave this story the name Life in a Jar. The jar is where Irena put the names of the children until after the war, she buried the jar next to a tree."
