What if
Acrylic on canvas, 30 x 40 inches / 76.2 x 101.6 cm, 2025
We’ve seen too many images of grief—a father clutching his lifeless child, a mother wailing over a body
wrapped in white. The world barely blinks anymore. But what if the victims were white, blonde, middle-class women?Would the world finally care? This painting confronts our selective empathy and
the brutal hypocrisy of whose suffering we choose to see.
