As with much of my work, the final process involves carefully placing symbols that intersect cultures, objects, and moments in time.

It becomes a visual prayer, distilling complexity into a hopeful narrative of harmony and connection.

The symbols in this painting are organized in the shape of the moon, the one place man cannot take over.
