Image Statement: This cloth was most likely an embroidery lesson created by my mother for me. I vaguely remember embroidering this Lord's Prayer, but it is also likely that my mother finished it for me. Now it's my turn to complete this work to modify and layer this solemn prayer with another reality that many of us, who have recited this verse since childhood, must accept and address.
