Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Andrée De Jongh was a war hero and remains one today. I chose her because her courage doesn’t belong in the past but continues to grow with each passing moment. What moved me the most about her story was how she defied societal gender expectations. As a young woman myself, I know how often we’re underestimated."
