Emerging Blue

(60” x 40”)

Over here we have high-rises with their manifold niches of rear or upfront windows, through which we can look in, or indeed look out to the heart’s content. In one sense, on surface, the work is a handsome sensorial design of patterns, what with the opening vent of the blue sky on the left end. But looking closely, we espy levels of being, that of our unquenchable sociability. This reflects our need to belong with our fellows. Well, this is what the city represents, at the best of times. At the worst, it becomes Babel, a bedlam, where hearts are at war.
