"My artwork shows a girl rising above temptation and sin in the world to reach for the light. The rays of the sun symbolize the Light of Christ shining down on the children of Heavenly Father. They envelop the girl who is rising above the darkness. The stitching shows the uniqueness of each person. The ribbon flying in the wind shows the femininity and preciousness of a daughter of Heavenly Father. The patchwork on the girl’s dress represents the Young Women value colors, showing how following these values helps us overcome temptation."
