The legs and arms are mine, the small dogs representational of our two small dogs, Niko and Sophie. The head is from a religious painting, giving the image the proper seriousness needed. It’s raining a dry, warm, rain, familiar to the desert we live in. With women’s rights and privileges being eroded away, the power of this figure, with her strong arms and legs and her calm, serene face, seemed to be what I needed to show our strength and determination not to be made less.
