Breaking Dawn

In Karen Clarkson's "Breaking Dawn", a small Indigenous child stands on a prairie. 

She is adorned in turquoise jewelry, a burnt orange top, and a mustard-yellow skirt that she lifts gently with one hand. In her other arm, she cradles a doll dressed in an outfit that mirrors her own. Her dark hair is nestled into two neat buns, and her moccasins rest upon the soft grass, surrounded by patches of brown earth. 

Above, the sky glows with subtle pink and yellow hues, while distant mountains are silhouetted in a soft lavender, framing the serene, pastoral scene.
