Original mixed media (acrylic, archival inks) painting measuring 11" x 30" and framed in a simple gold frame.

The painting incorporates text, a nude figure, and an abstraction of a nipple and surrounding skin. The skin sparkles and becomes an abstract backdrop for the rendered figure.

The very subtle text is incorporated along the "path" leading to the figure. The text reads as follows:
"We can carry the weight of our pain or lay it down and climb upon it to reach new heights."
"We believe we are our skin until we shed our skin and find we are something more."
"For life, cells and people must remember their role as a part of the whole."
