From the artist: "Our true self is made of habits, needs, inspirations, and lessons we are taught through out our life.We are most- ly good, but we are human.We shine in a world that may seem dark at times, but we can share lessons we have ourselves learned and ideas we possess and make the darkness light up with hope for others who feel lost and alone.The more we share and shine, the lighter the world becomes and the less scary it seems.At the end of our journey, we will stand alone, but our “center” will shine bright with our deeds, thoughts, and accomplishments, and we will not be standing in the dark. We will be unafraid."
