Collection: A Leon Papillon Originale | Forgiveness

An excerpt from Chapter Twenty-six of LEFT UNREAD, titled Sacrifice Change:

A most certain way to help mend a broken heart is to find it within oneself to forgive—not only the other person but oneself as well. The sooner we can bring our minds and hearts to a state of forgiveness, the sooner we heal.

Noel created this original drawing in 2002 while in the middle of a crisis, struggling with whether or not he could forgive a special someone. He initially sketched what appeared to be the number "7" with its reflection cast—but it evolved into something more: a figure walking with arms swinging wildly, trying to escape turbulence, struggling with identity, fighting off demons, dealing with a broken heart, and searching for a way to forgive.

The drawing also inspired a new song titled Sacrifice Change. The complete story is told in Chapter Twenty-six of Noel's book, LEFT UNREAD The Stories Behind the Songs of Noel Carol, available now. Read the introduction → here.

From a distance, the drawing transforms into what appears to be an abstract self profile. Art is subjective—perhaps you'll see yourself or someone else in it.

This collection contains twelve sizes, ranging from 6" x 6" to 40" x 60", suitable for any space where forgiveness and healing are honored.
