Melting Beauty | Encaustic, acrylic, ink, and mannequin hands on wood | 30” x 40”

Depicting a dissolving Japanese garden—“The beauty of the world slowly melted away”—this work extends themes from Consciousness Expansion and One World. Blood-streaked mannequin hands symbolize global suffering, posing an urgent question: What will we do to alleviate the world’s pain? It’s a wake-up call for the silent majority to act. What are we going to do, if anything, to save the world from pain and suffering?
