Artist Statement: 
When we are scared or intimidated, our natural response is aggression or avoidance. It would be natural to respond to a beast in that way, but in this fairy tale, our heroine is able to overcome her fear. She bravely offers love and compassion which provide the healing and transformation that no sword ever could.
