About this work

Crutches, a cane and a wheelchair are left in the foreground, under a black burst that still drips down the wall. Further back, five figures stand on a thin line of light, upright and together.

It belongs to the same series as Between Ruins and Hope: what war leaves on the body and in the streets, and the people who remain standing in spite of it. The grey is built from dozens of dry, scraped layers; the orange is the only warmth, and it rises from below.
