This piece sprang into vision in response to reading the question "What would a Memorial to the survivors of incest look like?" It was the first executed of The People of the Fire, a suite which includes The Child of the Fire, and Firesinger. The three pieces represent the stages of the process of healing from childhood sexual abuse and incest: Victim, Survivor, and Empowerment. The Goddess of Fire is the Survivor.
