– Poppy Roads – “Borders”

The wrinkled canvass represents mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan.  The red and green lines represents roads going across the mountains.  Such roads were once used by caravans carrying silks and spices from the Orient.  Now they carry guns and ammunition financed in part by the narcotic trade.  The colors of Afghanistan include the black on one side of the mountains.  The white on the other side is part of the  Pakistani flag.The motivation for creating this painting was shame.  Shame, that we purchase the drugs that buy the weapons that kill our soldiers.
