I thought that children should have shelter and so I made a symbolic one, with a resident child, Willa.  Inside I tried to depict Willa's family and life.  The inner structure of her home is fragile and easily knocked apart.  There are sticks and stones flying through the air at times, and secrets in the cupboard. I tried to give her everything she might need. I dressed Willa in armor, and gave her a shield, with a peace sign on it.  She has a crystal staff in her lap, a bottle full of sparkles, and a basket of toys and ammunition and prayers.  Behind her is her imaginary friend.  She sits on a magic carpet and is ready for anything.
