✨ Can peace still exist… in pieces?
This month’s Letting Go online exhibition invites reflection—and “Peace in Pieces” by Karen Sylvia Rockwell offers a powerful response to a world in flux.
Created as a way to cope with growing discord, this work reminds us:
piece by piece, through our own gifts, we rebuild.
