Releasing Butterfly Series: This series began as a sentiment and testimony to and about the young women I have had the honor to teach...survivors of human sex trafficking. I always felt I was releasing butterflies as they are radiantly beautiful, delicate and fragile. They are also strong and determined and have taught me where hope lives and thrives. Butterflies are radiantly beauful and can fly for thousands of miles, yet be harmed from disturbing the dust on their wings. This series is inspired by their young, indomitable spirits...a spirit that is alive in all women.
I was honored to present a TEDx talk about Alchemy Design Project which may be viewed  on YouTube: TEDxAtlanta Sydney Scherr
