Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "For the main focus of my art piece on this activist, I chose the virtue of justice. Aiko’s personal experiences and losses at the camps shaped her goals for a world that is socially fair. Losing her baby and dad at the internment camps, she took an interest in righting the wrong in history."
