I Choose Joy
Artist Statement:
Cancer recently took our sister Stephanie. Despite a dark prognosis, each day our shining light Steph looked to the hand written Post-It note affixed to her mirror; it read: “I choose joy.”
Free play has declined in our culture; when we deprive play, we cripple society. Life is not a proving ground; one can choose joy. “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation” - Plato
