This painting is a fusion of the four \"corners of the globe\" and the elements of earth‚ fire‚ water and air. None of these spheres of energy exist without the sun and I wanted to convey the co-dependency of each life force with each of the others and the sun. It is like an atomic model I built at school: all the elements \"hang in the balance\"‚ much as our earth and environment do. Humanity cannot exist without these life forces and we must live in harmony with them.
