Standing Over The Dead

Standing over the Dead: Pastel on Paper, 12.75″ x 9″

This drawing was inspired by the Syrian civil war. Additionally, it is my intention to have the viewer wonder, question, and figure out what is happening here. The lower part of the drawing depicts a woman in black standing alone, silent, and motionless with her face turned towards you – the viewer. The body lying on the ground, slowly sinking, as if the earth is reclaiming the dead is drawn with light tones and very little mass.
