Hello all,
Just completed my 3rd project for the 2017 ITAC challenge (theme: Oceana).
For this project, I was inspired by all of the heroism, strength, and love shown by, not only the residents affected by devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas, but also the thousands of people who have come to their aid. It is times like these that one is truly humbled and awed by the resiliency and determine of others.
My heart, thoughts and prayers are going out to all who have been impacted by this storm and it’s aftermath.
Key Elements:
- Live edge wood plank
- My Story: Strength, Harmony and love
- Stencil patterns that reminded my of Maori Tattoos
