This piece is the culmination of a 4yr journey where I have visited over thirty War-Torn and Poverty-Struck regions of the world including areas that have suffered extreme conflict and undergone dramatic change and development such as: Iraq, Iran, India, Palestine, Gaza, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Darfur, Serbia, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Kuwait, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Bahrain, The United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Samoa, South Africa, Indonesia, Mozambique, Oman, Turkey, Morocco, and many more. Each canvas has visited at least 8-9 countries with another layer being added to the canvas as the journey continued. Each piece, with its eight or more layers, represents the soul and spirit of the war-torn, poverty-struck and special-needs children I have spent time with on this journey and their understanding of their truth, their own and their countries identity and how they relate to their troubled and disjointed Past, uncertain and extreme Present and more hopeful and positive Future. – A jigsaw of their soul.
