Wounded Warrior Woman

The Wounded Warrior Woman is a painting that's inspired by the sculpture “End of the Trail” by James Earl Fraser. The sculpture is of an Indigenous Warrior leaning over, he's at the end of the battle and he's just exhausted. Sharifah decided to use the image in a painting but transform it to a woman's perspective.

The Wounded Warrior Woman is leaning over, she has her small child in front and a small child in her papoose. She's leaning over, she thinks about giving up. She thinks about all the hardship and feels the weight on her shoulders. She takes a breath, puts her head up and then she just keeps going. She has so much love for her children. She knows she can't give up and that's not the end of the road for her, that's just a moment.
