Abstract Joy

Larchmont, NY

Note: Created from garbage and litter found on the street that included several checkers, some of which had been damaged by moving vehicles. The warm pastel colors are intended to present an atmosphere of comfort and calm. The olive and brown tones represent our interconnectedness to nature and each and every ecosystem on the planet. The abstract shapes and forms represent our indigenous stature with regard to the Earth based on our creation from “the dust of the ground” [Genesis 2:7] that is inclusive of each and every race and gender – “He gave you… diversity of tongues and colors” [Qu’ran: The Romans 30:22]. Because of this, it is imperative we protect our planet and its interconnected ecosystems and human rights for “What should it matter that one bowl is dark and the other pale, if each is of good design and serves its purpose well.” [Hopi (North American Indian) Proverb: Polingaysi Qoyawayma]. The joy arises when harmony between peoples and humanity and nature exist.

YES!
Red, for me, means that this harmony is permanently in danger
We have to be aware
A very successful current subject, William

William Sutherland replied to J.Garcia:

I agree Judite, it's in danger more than ever. Even here in the USA there is great danger tribalist violence awaits after Election Day, an endeavor once the model for the world -- may be a demonstration in futility as one side or the other and its followers will reject the results if they don't go their way. :(
Hope this danger doesn't come to pass and peoples come to respect each other and live in peace. Perhaps the Abraham Accords can provide a little encouragement especially since the peoples of the UAE and Israel yearn to interact and get along with each other in lieu of a treaty on paper alone. Lets hope in the end the red doesn't symbolize danger or worse yet, bloodshed -- but love.
