A digital homage/ripoff of Magritte’s painting ‘The Treachery of Images’. An image of a brown and black tobacco pipe with a curved stem sits isolated on a plain tan field. Below the pipe in black cursive handwriting is the phrase ‘Peut-être que cela arrivera aujourd'hui’ which I sincerely hope is an adequate French translation of ‘Maybe it will happen today’

Our community continues to be shocked and devastated by the events on Eureka Street as our country staggers from political upheaval. It is frustrating to now be targeted by this criminal prosecution as well. I am a mother, an immigrant and elected leader who attempted, along with other Worcester residents, to protect a traumatized young person, two mothers and an infant. I did the humane thing to do in this situation, nothing more, nothing less. My life's calling has been to help others. I am a former refugee who fled and escaped violence. I, like too many others in our city, have previously lived through the nightly terrors of whisper campaigns, street round-ups and disappeared neighbors, which I experienced when I lived in Albania and Greece. It is frightening that the same type of conduct is now a reality in this country. Protecting the most vulnerable should not lead to being targeted and vilified. And working to improve policing in our city by calling for oversight and accountability should not provoke political grandstanding and attacks. I look forward to responding to these charges in court.

Paper slip from a fortune cookie reads “Love is a powerful force.”

A collaged art card with blacked-out text, a clownish figure balancing an elephant on a finger with a fish’s body for a hat, and a highway with the words “resist” and “persist” stamped over it.

A year ago I only used rectangular pieces of paper in my collages and these days I am experimenting more.
