“This piece is titled “Healer” and it was painted in March of 2020 when we beginning to gear up for battle. I remember the intensity of the fear and anxiety of not knowing what was ahead and what we would be called to do.” (Saira Malik Rahman)
This work is called “Hope.” “I scheduled my Covid vaccine. That email might have been the best email I have received in my life. I feel like a dark cloud over us is beginning to clear.” (Saira Malik Rahman)
