This article presents a critical appraisal of Kristine Florczak’s Parse research method study on the phenomenon of sacrificing something important. The processes of Mitchell’s framework for human becoming criticism—sketching the horizon of understanding, illuminating artistic disclosure, and enhancing the original with artform—are utilized.
