Displaced

About the artwork
This piece began as a meditation on displacement, overpopulation, and natural disaster. But it is about more than physical displacement; it is about the emotional and spiritual displacements of our modern era. Masses of people are pushed to the edge of a habitable zone as the waters rise up, threatening to swallow them up. But there are also elements of beauty here, suggesting that even in the end times there is the possibility of transcendence.
