This piece was inspired by the events of September 11th, completed a week following the tragic events. There are times that it seems that everything is falling apart... and the earth mourns the lost intentions of its inhabitants. In this picture, I remember wanting to portray the bitter sadness as well as the light of hope that we probably all felt in the days following 9/11. Acrylic paint on canvas... no brushes were harmed in the creation of this painting... only sponges and my fingers were used.
