A dock worker in a ship breaking yard in Chittagong, Bangladesh kneels as he takes a break from his dangerous job. A scarf wraps around his head and neck. A worn pair of sandals cloth his calloused feet. The worker picks at his nails in reflection. He listens to his friend who is next to him as they discuss the Americans that are touring the shipyard. His hair is grey from the trauma of his employment and life in the rugged environment of Chittagong.

Four Hands reaching framing in the face of a strong female character. The two hands connected to her neck reach away as the other two are held up in reverence on either side of the woman’s head. Red and green dots float to the left and right of her earrings. She looks away as if distracted by something. This piece was created on a black background. Gray tones were used in place of color and the overall piece has a very muted appearance with the exception of the four colored dots.
