The Largeness of Rescue

By Eva Tihanyi

The big theme—perhaps the only theme—is the narrative that unfolds between the bookends of our birth and our death.  Each of us is born into a time and place—our present—and must answer the questions only we can answer for ourselves:  Who are we? What will we do?  What choices will we make?  The Largeness of Rescue helps us travel along our own storyline by doing what the best art does so well: engages us with ourselves and with our world, and encourages us to slow down and consider our very humanness.
