Surrender
I started this artwork “Surrender” with the image of a figure collapsed and alone, carrying the white flag of surrender because with this COVID-19 pandemic, as in some other crises, the isolation and fear we may experience can come with a sense of surrendering to feeling overwhelmed and depressed. But the story doesn’t end there because this is my vision of a truth which includes, along with the pain, what can carry us into a future where our well-being rises from being enveloped in the hands of community with love and compassion, hope and support. ~ Gabi Clayton, 04/24/2020
