Endure in Hope by Michelle O'Connor  Image: "Endure in Hope" is a tribute to the quiet strength and sacred endurance of women. Inspired by the words, “Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer,” this piece honors the courage it takes to remain hopeful in the face of injustice, pain, and exhaustion.

Her soft gaze holds generations of struggle and resilience—echoing the ongoing fight for autonomy, dignity, and voice. She stands not in defeat, but in defiant grace, embodying the truth that hope is not passive. It is fierce. It is active. It is a radical act of faith in a better tomorrow.

This is for every woman who has held the line, who has wept and risen again.
This is for hope that endures.
