A deeply personal tribute to Nadia Comaneci; a woman who shouldered the burden of communist rule to become an international hero. This portrait of a young Nadia is imbued with symbolism from the traditional folk art of Romanian embroidery. Connected to the mural of Medusa through the winding serpent, the two stand together as two sides of the same coin; representing the fire in which strong women are forged, the sacrifice required for infamy; and the safety that all women and girls deserve but are often not afforded.
