This painting explores the intrisnsic value of human spirit, the deep black skin which is treated with a texture that supports and suggests vulnerability while the yellow paint serves as a metaphor of resilience and worth. The weathered appearance of the piece suggests endurance that even through fragmemented layers shows the endurance of individual remains the focal point.
