Peering Out

Acrylic on canvas
This teddy bear is a representation of MS. He is peering around a fence, looking out on the world with some trepidation because he is finding that as time goes on, it is more and more difficult to navigate his way around it. The blue patches represent the physical scarring wrought by MS which lead to limitations that people with MS experience. However, the bear is smiling. He knows that with support, he can still participate in all that life has to offer. It might be limited but he won’t let MS stop him.
