• Artist Statement

  I saw the sun setting, and it made me think of a drug rehab center, Operation Dawn, that I have been helping out at since 4th grade. They are all just like us, but they made one decision that resulted in long-term consequences. Many of them had recovered. This reminded me that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, so we should look forward to a new dawn after sunset.
