"If we want to put out work in the world that moves people, stirs the senses, evokes a resiliency of spirit, creates currents of compassionate change, then we must be willing to heal all the places within us that struggle with those same things."

Above the figure is hand-printed "May every year take you further from trauma and closer to healing" in all caps.

Artist and quote credit - Frizz Kid: May every year take you further from trauma and closer to healing. Each year brings new opportunities to reconcile with pain and sadness from the past. Those things can’t just be erased, but rather we can learn to understand old wounds, reflect on its impact and remind ourselves that our lives are bigger than the bad things that have happened. Happy New Year everyone! You deserve lovely things 💛💛💛💛
