Inhale the Future, Exhale the Past

Inhale the Future, Exhale the Past

This painting (acrylic and copper on books and wood) submitted by Jacqueline Baerwald represents transformation. According to the artist, this piece poses a series of silent questions about the transition from victim to survivor and beyond. The process involves so much more than removing a victim from a dangerous situation. To truly be free, transformation must happen within one’s thoughts, beliefs and emotions. A new story must be written in one’s mind and heart, replacing suffocating fear with breathtaking dreams.
