The recent landslide disaster in Nepal, which has left countless people homeless and claimed many lives, evokes an unusual series of eerie Face lithographs I created years ago in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. The series explores both the joy and the suffering that shape the human experience. The original images were painted in watercolor on paper and later transferred onto lithographic plates.
Yet the world remains in turmoil. People continue to bleed, grieve, and struggle for a life of dignity. Will we ever know true peace? Where will it come from? Can we discover, deep within ourselves, the goodness we all share? Can we cherish that common humanity and find the courage to trust in it?
For all humanity. For the light of the world.
