Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "My vision is for Virginia Apgar to be “looking at the critic or audience” when half of her face has a cap and mask just as she is about to go into surgery and the other does not. This exemplifies how she was a proud woman and her own person, however a huge part of her also dedicated her life to others."
