While living with a local family, Harriet was profoundly moved by their unwavering resilience, they navigated through their daily hardships with dignity and perseverance. Despite limited resources, they infused their home with warmth and beauty. Through her evocative series of paintings, Harriet seeks to honor the emotional richness and strength of the people she encountered.
