Description
This turtle represents the African woman who saved my life when I was a child. At eight years old I was shot during the Rhodesian war. I began to die of blood loss. The African woman who had adopted me as her own found my lifeless body and began to sing her Medicine Song. I heard her through the veil between the living and the dead. Her song helped me instantly remember my purpose. I came back to life to live my purpose which is to inspire people by singing my Medicine Song and creating art that helps others remember to live their life awakened to their purpose. I chose a turtle to represent her with my world resting on her back.
