Oil on canvas, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

For the first time in human history, every country, every culture, is experiencing the same catastrophe. The same catalyst. The same challenges. The same steps through.

As I paint, my mind remembers, decades and decades of raising my fist to the skies.

CHANGE SOCIETY!

CHANGE CULTURE!

CHANGE THE WORLD!

But the issues so huge, and humans never on the same page, never united, often complacent or stuck in activist ruts and rebellions. But never united.

Until Covid. Until this virus hit every continent simultaneously, forcing every community, be it directly effected or not, to be on the same page. People read that page and judge that page differently…but not really. History will see this time as one global shift.

No one knows in what direction the spinning top will point when it stops.

Yet here I stand.

Ready. Willing. Waiting. Wanting.

Wanting that global shift. Holding hands with the world whether people are cursing, growling. Preying. Or intellectualising….and moving forwards together, into this new world.

She stands above the tedious bickering, to mask or not to mask. To vax or not to vax. These trivialities seem small in the big pitcher, in the scheme of this new millennium. This opportunity for change.

She embraces change!

She stands inside the pack of fearing humans,

Sheds her old skins,

finds her focus,

and steps UP,

without fear,

into the new world to come.

She reels in her journey, the challenges, the hardships, the revelations the visions,

And she walks into
