Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "I did learn some lessons whilst researching Will Counts and creating this art piece. What I learned is that you don’t have to take credit for every good deed that you do, and sometimes when you do something for others without being focused on getting recognition for it, in a way, that makes it a better act than if you were to do it for the sole reason of being recognized for your actions."
