Together, these three objects symbolize the beauty that can come from extending kindness, friendship, community, a listening ear, etc to help one belong. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf we cultivate safe spaces for belonging, who knows what could bloom? \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe blooms in the background represent the beauty that can come from us (the viewer) and others (people we interact with\/people who are different than us) finding a sense of belonging. The tiger can be intimidating or unfamiliar, but taking the time to learn about what or who we don't know is amazing. The quilt represents safety and comfort that ultimately results from watching one bloom in places where they're accepted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e 30”x30” on a 1.5” deep cradled canvas.
