A painting by Deborah Scott titled Her Mother Taught Her Prayers, Amazon Delivered Scissors. It depicts a young woman with cropped hair standing atop a coiled rope made from her own cut hair. She holds a pair of scissors, symbolizing transformation and self-determination. Behind her is Dartmouth’s Bartlett Tower, representing tradition and change. The distressed textures and disrupted realism convey the emotional complexity of breaking away from expectations and embracing personal autonomy.
