Flame Tree Web

Oil on Linen 35cmx50cm

On the easel the layout for a group of 3 young men in Lakes State who reminded me of the restless youth in South Sudan, responsible for the current unrest and deaths, linked to cattle raids, politics, ethnic rivalry and the dry season.

However, on my way to Juba 3, I passed a flame tree the orange blossoms vibrant against the blue sky. Hence, the restless young men will need to wait for another day.
