We asked University of Arkansas student artists to interpret the theme of the 2018 edition, “No Longer Unspoken.” Hill staff selected and published two winning artworks in the magazine, but the following work deserves honorable recognition.

By Jack Noble

Senior Jack Noble’s brother and his battle with addiction inspired this work. “For years my brother struggled with it, wrestling with his willpower on a daily basis, distancing himself from the ones who loved him most, seeing his best friend die of an overdose, and consuming a substance that eventually started to consume him,” Noble said. His brother has been sober for about two years, and Noble proudly celebrates his resilience.
