In most instances of Western, multi-figure history painting, a story is being told from a very particular point of view.
Consider Jacques Louis David’s The Intervention of the Sabine Women (1799), or Francisco Goya’s The Third of
May (1808), or even Pablo Picasso’s Guernica (1937); in each example, there feature clearly defined victims and
aggressors, heroes (or heroines) and villains.

MESSAGE FROM THE ARTIST
We've entered a new age of global crisis. Modern dread, hopelessness, and
existential anxiety have become common and relegated to the subconscious.
The individual walks the streets feeling a sense of alienation and that
society, coopted by media technology, politics, and an undercurrent of
hate and confusion, is unraveling.
