The Power of Hope - A Tribute to Michelle Obama
2017
"Sonia Kiki Jones, formerly Sonia Richter, was inspired to create an artwork after listening to Michelle Obama’s final speech as first lady. Obama's belief in the power of education, in the value of including all cultures, religions and backgrounds, and her awareness about the powerful statements you can make with fashion struck a chord with Richter.
Richter’s tribute work is based on the dress Michelle Obama wore to the Presidential Medal of Freedom Dinner at the White House in 2012 by Michael Kors, an American designer of immigrant parents. The artwork is grounded on a foundation of books to represent education, with national flowers from many nations winding their way up the lower part of the dress. Entwined amongst the flowers are symbols and charms representative of the cultures, religions and belief systems of the world: the Star of David
from Judaism, the Crescent Moon of Islam; Christianity and Hindu; of peace, love and hope; the sunflower for women’s rights, the protea for Africa, and many more. Richter gives us The Power of Hope.”
We are looking for a charity to donate this artwork to, it is currently in storage in Connecticut and would love to do some good in the world...please help us find an appropriate charity.
