Art’s interactive installation has a subtle power to serve as a healing catalyst. Visitors often experience new insight when given an opportunity to connect with the work. As the artwork begins to unlock the soul, the interactive installation becomes a place of hope and healing.
Here’s an excerpt from Walker’s story that inspired an avalanche of hope:
I have autism! I’m afraid that others will look at me differently. But, if they could see what is in my heart, they would see a real human being. Not an outcast or a kid to dislike.
One of my teachers said that I would never learn how to read or do math, but she didn’t understand my determination. In high school (and college), I played hockey, got good grades, and achieved pretty well socially too.
I can’t get my autism to go away no matter how hard I try. But I’m living proof that people can’t tell me how far I can go. That is up to me!
What is your wish or prayer for a special child in your life?
