Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Humanity is faced with challenges and those challenges are what we learn from or do not learn from. It has nothing to do with the age. Those who encounter pain, difficulty and turmoil and then stand up and continue walking are the ones who guide our society as beacons of hope and perseverance. These people are strong, powerful and not often what one would expect. One of them is named Pavel (Paul) Weiner and he was only 10 years old when he made the choice to stand and keep walking."
