The Wait
Oil on linen

My grandmother would often speak of the loneliness of war and the lingering threat of an uncertain future on the land if her loved ones didn’t return. ‘The Wait’ is a sombre window into the angst of waiting for the war to end, the apprehension of not knowing and the dread to come upon knowing. I reflect sadly on this timeless depiction of then. Not much has changed now with some 92 countries involved in conflicts beyond their borders.
