This is a visual representation of the resilience that we so gracefully carry within us. COVID-19 has imposed many hardships on each of us, both physically and psychologically. Despite the many wounds that we carry, we continue to witness acts of selflessness, service, and support during these times. And we continue to rise each day and do the best we can, whether that is checking in on a friend over a phone call, volunteering, working, or simply making it through a long and lonely day. Just as this painting shows, our hearts may weep, but they continue to beat, each day and night. A Weeping Heart stands for the resilience within us all.
