A symbolic painting exploring the desperate search for human connection across the divide of war. Flowing fields of red and green intertwine like drifting fabric, revealing translucent faces suspended within the conflict - present, silent, and trapped. At the centre, a white cloth is nailed to the surface as a hand presses outward from behind it, reaching toward another hand extending from the foreground. Their almost-touch speaks of hope, separation, and the longing to be seen, while the barrel of a military tank emerging from the red reminds us of the violence that keeps them apart.
