Voices in Humanism

Afghan Girl Revisited
In creating my first Afghan girl drawing for Voices in Humanism, I was drawn to her face on the cover of National Geographic. The struggle behind her eyes, the pain she had experienced, drew me in. I wondered how her life would unfold.
Then I came across a photo of the same person 17 years later and felt I needed to pay homage to the older version of her. Her eyes still told a story for me and she looked weathered by a hard life but still standing strong.
Sometimes tough situations show you who you are and what you are made of. I can identify with the struggle.
