Kim Alsbrooks paints 17th and 18th Century portraits on trash she finds in the streets.

The trash must already be flattened perfectly. She will not flatten it herself.

Once Kim finds a perfect piece of trash, she finds the perfect
portrait for that piece.

(I’m not sure whether it is harder for Kim to find the trash or paint the portrait.)

The people Kim paints died long before TV, computers, Coke and Bud were invented.

We are all connected.
Your ideas and actions impact other people, even when it seems they do not.

The connections between us are often neither immediate nor obvious.

The people you impact may think very differently than you do.
