VIEW IN MY ROOM
This painting is part of my series of works dealing with the situation of the horrific loss of life and of displacement of the peoples from the Darfur region of Sudan in Africa. My work has always been about the importance of place in shaping and defining one's identity. To do this I often utilize maps and mapping symbols in my paintings and drawings. The nearly barren yet glorious tree in the foreground represents many things: it is the place of protection from the sun and from bombs as well as a source of firewood. The tree is a veritable source of strength and hope, even as we can see the puffs of smoke billowing in the distance. The markers; mapping symbols, denote danger at the right and a possible double entendre on the bottom left. Oil on wood panel.
