Poster text: This painting depicts the continuing cycle of life and the role all people must play to ensure an AIDS free future. Dragonflies, frogs, birds, butterfly [sic] and the two people reach out to touch the tree of life and hope and the seeds on the shield. The tree's roots turn into water, the mainstay of life. |
