A tribute to hardworking women who also maintain firm personal boundaries. The collage is set upon an old-fashioned hand fan, the kind you find in churches with no air conditioning. I associate these fans with the Black women whose work keeps a group going, whether it’s a church congregation or a family.
Beneath the fan is a St. Christopher medal. Here, it refers to those who carry heavy burdens, but it’s also a warning against taking on more than you can bear. The text in the collage (“We don’t work on Sunday.”) supports this message, informing the viewer that there are limits to what one person can support.
Give this framed collage to the strong person in your life.
