“Unfolding Tragedy”

Oil on canvas, 64cm. x  78cm.

I created this abstract work as my response to the dilema of refugees all over the world who leave their homeland in search of safe haven in other countries. The paper boat is my way of representing the type of unseaworthy vessel that many assylum seekers often find themselves crammed into.  It is testement to their desparation; their willingness to risk all for a safer future.
