This was painted before the war in Kuwait. Artists sometimes foretell events without realising it.
The Rod is a symbol of a spiritual connection that we can hold on to in spite of terrible situations in the world. The desert represents the world as it can be - is a place without water, which is the symbol of truth. Above in the sun, there is a place representing an ocean of truth.

Available as a limited edition giclée print at wire-frame fine art.
