A painted scene on wooden panels shows three boys standing close together behind a strand of barbed wire that runs across the image at chest height. In the center, a boy in a yellow shirt stretches his arm out, holding a handgun to the head of the boy on the left. His face is tense, his eyes slightly unfocused, as if caught between play and something more serious. The boy on the left stands partly hidden by green leaves. He wears a white shirt and looks forward with a guarded, uneasy expression as the gun touches his head. On the right, another boy with light hair leans on the barbed wire, smiling faintly, his expression calmer and detached compared to the others. Behind them is a simple wooden wall with a dark window opening into a black sky dotted with small white marks, like distant stars. The overall feeling is quiet but tense, mixing childhood, play, and danger in a single frozen moment.Some images may be cropped. Click on an image to see the full image without cropping.

A close-up painting shows two large, realistic hands pulling open part of a person’s chest like a flap. Inside, instead of normal anatomy, there is a dark, hollow space. In the center is a pinkish-red, mask surface with a single eye peering outward and a set of lips below it. Behind this, deeper in the darkness, a small, suited figure with raised arms is faintly visible, almost hidden. The background is mostly blank white, which makes the hands and the open chest stand out sharply. The overall feeling is tense and unsettling, as if something private or inner is being exposed.

A painting shows a large white government building resembling the White House, with tall columns and a curved front. Bright orange flames are spreading across the roof and inside some of the windows, while thick, dark gray smoke fills the sky above. In the foreground, a crowd of people stands facing the building. Their backs are turned, and they are painted in muted colors, suggesting a mix of individuals. Off to the right, a man in a dark suit stands at a podium, raising one hand as if giving a speech. Near the center of the crowd, one person wearing a pink face covering holds a sign that reads, “Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.” The overall scene feels chaotic and tense, with the burning building contrasting against the calm but watchful crowd.

A painting that shows an masked individual, with both arms raised above his head holding a machete. He is standing behind an injured ICE agent, almost towering over him. The agents gaze is fixed onto the masked individual, who is ready to strike him down.

A painting that shows nike high-tops hung onto a street power line. Shoes hung onto a power line have many different reasons but for this case it is memorializing a deceased loved one, marking where they last stood.
