I will change what I cannot accept

This is a powerful expression of anger and fierce rebellion against all forms of violence and sexual assault. It is unbearable that so many people not only suffer these traumatic experiences, but are often met with silence, neglect, or even betrayal by the very institutions meant to protect them. This systemic injustice cuts deep and fuels a burning rage within. A rage that demands to be heard and seen.

The candles, flowers, and teddy bear are tender symbols of the victims’ pain and loss, fragile yet enduring reminders of lives forever changed. They speak of grief, but also of collective memory, a call to never forget, to stand united in empathy and defiance.

The letter’s powerful words, “I will no longer accept what I cannot change, I will change what I cannot accept,” are not just a statement but a vow. They embody the fierce hope that fuels resistance. The hope that change is possible, even when the darkness feels endless.

This hope is painted vividly in the light blue sky and the radiant sun emerging from the letter, reaching out to pierce through the surrounding shadows. It reminds us that even in the darkest moments, light can find a way. Sometimes from the most unexpected places.

Hope is alive, quietly growing in small acts of courage and kindness. It can be as simple as a painting. A piece of hope, a symbol of support, a beacon of love that says: you are not alone.
