Image Statement: This artist's origin story is about as a 2 year old my relationship with a rooster. I thought he looked beautiful but I was afraid of him. He pecked at me to make me stay with his flock of hens. I had to work out ways to get past him. In this story, my father unknowingly came to my rescue.
