“THIS WORK IS ABOUT CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF THOUGHT AND FEELINGS TO FIND A WAY TO SUCCEED WHEN NOT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO PLAN. IT REPRESENTS THE SELF-DETERMINATION TO REMAIN FOCUSED, TO DIG DEEP, GO TO THE DEPTHS OF OUR RESOLVE, ADAPT TO THE CONTEXT AND DISCOVER THE STRENGTH INSIDE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED OUTCOME. THIS WORK ALSO DEMONSTRATES THE SEARCH FOR A GREATER MEANING IN LIFE AND THAT NOTHING IS ‘SKIN-DEEP’ OR SUPERFICIAL.”
