This was the reality for my friend, who courageously chose to undergo physical and emotional pain in order to defend her future. Solomon’s Seal is used in the sculpture as a symbol of her Ashkenzi Jewish heritage, an additional risk factor. As a yoga instructor, my friend relies on the meditative pose depicted here, the Hidden Prayer. I am honored to have the oppurtunity to shed light on the positive medical advances that are saving women today…especially my beautiful friend!
