"Liberation," 5x7" scratchboard; framed

The black swan’s miraculous return to life is likened to a lesson in not jumping to conclusions or making false assumptions. Their story teaches us that anyone can change feathers, particularly if we have a little help.  Sometimes the black swan comes when you feel like you have no power over your circumstances. Black Swan wants to swim you away from that mentality and help you reclaim your power. Disadvantages can be turned around with a little creativity; in effect this is liberation.
