It is a challenge to create artworks that are accessible to all when the subject matter should in some way shock...

With this artwork I try to avoid being too explicit. The visual ambiguity mirrors how conflict and war is shaped by our point of view, whether cultural, religious, or historical.

Although there is no depiction of life, the ample evidence that life was brought to a sudden and terrible end is implied by the deep reds that flood the canvas. I see a family home and the terrible consequences of war. All war results in the end of life, love, beauty, and for many, time. The time of a mother, daughter, son, or father. The time loved ones and friends are lost.

End one thing: war
