The Art of Social Entrepreneurship

I finished this painting at the end of October 2023.

 

The flower was a gift for my birthday and I placed it in a vase I had purchased from a Moroccan artist who turned old, discarded tires into statement art.

 

The ensemble sits upon a stray of newspapers on the floor. One page tells the death of a woman in the newly-started war. Is she Israeli or is she Palestinian? Does it matter in the end?

 

Hope is a word that lingers in the background.

 

War and Hope

Death and Bloom

Trash and Treasure

 

This painting is a reminder

that two truths can exist at once.
