Description
The mural addresses the issue that alcohol and drug addiction don't discriminate. The three angels, which are the focus, represent women of different ages and ethnicities. They also show that with willingness, help and spiritual foundation, addicted women can recover from the disease of addiction and experience a personal rebirth.
