"Navigating the Storm" Fanny Pack

Artist: Ashley Wilson Wall

Inspiration: Lissette Guadalupe

Ashley Wilson Wall's Artist Description:

The use of India Ink, found bark, and glow-in-the-dark clay turns into a scene of passing through a sea of stormy darkness with light figures on a boat forging their way through to a lighter future. The dark India ink with its sometimes uncontrollable nature symbolizes cancer and how it can be an all-consuming and terrifying journey full of unknowns and uncertainty. Meanwhile, the lead figure is the Inspiration showing her strength and courage with a clear goal to pass through her journey while being a leader of light for those who follow in her wake.
