Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

The words I received for this work was “building bridges”. After dwelling on this for some time, I decided I wanted to focus the piece on the need for allies. We need to work together, for a better future for all – to form a “bridge over troubled water”.
Shown in the piece is a rough, dark sea with two arms reaching out to form a bridge. Although the hands aren’t yet touching, the energy around can be felt, an energy of connection and change. The edges of the canvas are darker as the connection has not yet spread around to “light the darkness”. Are we there yet?
