This captivating artwork draws inspiration from the compelling novel "The Island Beneath the Sea" penned by the renowned Chilean writer, Isabel Allende. The painting beautifully captures a significant chapter dedicated to the escape of slaves who courageously join the fight for Haiti's Independence. The artist employs the medium of glass to symbolize the profound fragility of the enslaved individuals' circumstances. It serves as a poignant reminder of the vulnerability they faced in their pursuit of freedom. Integrating cut metal vèvès into the frame, the painting portrays the commanding influence of the loas, emphasizing their pivotal role in shaping the destiny of these brave souls. Adding a mesmerizing touch, rays of light delicately pierce through the glass, brought to life by concealed LED lights behind the frame. These radiant beams symbolize the strength and unwavering hope that propelled the slaves forward in their struggle for liberation. The interplay of light and glass conveys a sense of resilience and optimism amidst the challenges they confronted. Through this exceptional artwork, the artist not only honors Isabel Allende's powerful narrative but also pays tribute to the indomitable spirit of the enslaved individuals who sought emancipation and fought valiantly for Haiti's Independence.
