Story: This is the first painting in a series on social justice issues. This painting depicts a girl who is drawn out of her land and home because of war, and and other painful experiences she has had to endure there. The geographical depiction in the painting is that of the Middle East, but could be anywhere in the world. Even though she suffered there, she longs for her land, her people, her food, her family, and her home. She is taken to “safety” but the place she is taken to is so different and strange, it is uncomfortable and scary, full of it’s own challenges, rejection, and confusion. This is why the instrument which is pulling her away is shaped partially like a chain. The tears of paint that fall down this painting, and the cracks in the canvas, are a depiction of the heart of the girl. A heart broken because of loss, pain, and separation from what she both loves and has harmed her. The consequences of the mess caused by the internal affairs of her land, exacerbated by international drivers and players, is now waited on her in personal suffering.
