>"Did she survive the occupation?"

The Bajoran shook his head. "Unfortunately, she was one of the many who lost their lives in a labor camp while the Cardassians were ruling our world." An uncomfortable silence hung in the air at the statement. It was clear that he did not know how to continue the conversation.

"I meant no disrespect," Jaime replied.  "I had only hoped that you had some of her work from post-occupation."

"No respect taken, Miss.  My apologies.  We Bajorans sometimes get defensive and hard-edged when we talk about the Occupation.  It is not something that a people get over easily, even after a generation.  While she did not survive the Occupation, her work did as did its influence."  Nolais brought Jaime over to one of the larger sculptures in the room.  While it had a lot of similarities to the previous work.  There were also some differences. It was a sculpture of a Bajoran head.  While it was clearly not meant to represent an individual since details were unclear, the nose markings and traditional earring were evident.  It almost seem to reflect a new-found strength.  A clearer image of one's identity.  The lines were slightly more clear, though it still had some of the appearance of weariness and damage found in the earlier works shown to her.
