With all the survivors, all the evidence, all the details, you'd think there would be a big investigation to get accountability going.... Maria Farmer, a survivor of abuse connected to Jeffrey Epstein, has recently returned to painting after years away from her work. She has said that the trauma she experienced made it impossible for her to create art for a long time.“I absolutely stopped painting because of Epstein… and in a weird way I kind of started painting because of him because I wanted to honor the victims.”Farmer now uses soft pastels to create portraits of other survivors, focusing on their individuality, strength, and humanity rather than the abuse they endured. It's important to remember humans are involved in this entire Epstein story, and that this shouldn't just be a political battle of narratives.
