Dawn

By Christina Fleckenstein, MD OB/GYN Resident, Wake Forest University School of Medicine Drexel College of Medicine Class of 2022

“Dawn” was created in 2018 to celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of women attending the College of William and Mary. At the time, I was a senior art student at W&M. Inspired by this landmark. I created “Dawn” to celebrate these pioneers, who marked the start of greater inclusion of women in higher education. The piece was also created with a greater audience in mind -- I hoped to represent all individuals who challenge status quo in their communities, to broaden inclusion, equity, and opportunity, particularly among marginalized groups. I hope each person who reflects on the piece, sees a part of themselves who wishes to make their world a better place.
