This is a story of resilience  and renewal . In the Artist’s vision the street youth are portrayed standing in their courage and perseverance  . The artist asked each subject to choose one word to describe themselves .  She then meditated on their choice combined with what she already  knew of their joys and challenges…

Children of the streets , Honoring the brokenness  , Giving a light to the rough edges . Giving transformation to fear  and giving love to life . Their magnificence is a beacon of light in the dark . And their trust is a door to the universe .
