The Path of an Exile

Digital | 8"x10"

A man has been freed from his shackles and looks out at the bright morning sun. However, he is notably separated from the procession of men who march northward, all of whom are masked in shadow. Rendered in gouache and fresco-style brushes, the rolling hills and winding path evoke a graphic sense of texture. While rays of sunlight streak across the scene, providing an impressionist quality that amplifies the contrast between freedom and the alienation of an exile.
