“This visual expresses the mood of the Magnificat in a new way for me: a young girl under occupation, sent away for her own safety, responding to not only her own oppression, but to that of her community. She believes that righteousness is on her side, but she’s still in anguish. The Gaudete (joy) colors of Advent surround her, but with that joy is remarkable pain.”
