It is in the trenches again, but a different kind of trenches this time, many stories told, dreams envisioned but futile, yet many puzzles in sight and solutions in grasp but enslaved in mental restriction to place them.
In this concept, placement of colours, composition of images and text inclusion are intentionally done to pass across significant messages, also note that this painting does not only tells the story of those in it but also yours.
It is a failed system where those meant to serve are those that embezzles the future of younger generations. In desperate cry for help! but how much can the needy help another, in the struggle to leave the trenches, hard labour is a lifestyle, in search for the key to solve the puzzle comes several questions
Could the key be Education or hard work? Maybe it’s both!
But then comes another.
Does Education teach you how to leave that mental trenches (Depressive state) or do they teach you how to make funds to lift your family out of the physical and financial trenches?
Sometimes people leave their comfort zones due to discomfort in tore for what they already have but failed to identify (Grace), the artist urges you to “Identify your Grace and be Grateful”.
In conclusion is the image of a woman hawking a basket full of fruits but no actual fruits inside, looking at it from a front view, it appears to be full but from above it is an empty basket, we also have people picking up their remains from her left side, this is a puzzle yet unsolved by you, so therefore identify your Grace and leave the trenches.
