Reunion

Reunion

Oil Painting

Painted from a blurry news photo. Two Ethiopian women, lifelong friends, had been separated by war and living in different refugee camps. Then they were both moved to the same camp, and found each other again after years apart. I was moved by the fierce intensity of their reunion. What must it be like, to be so completely at the mercy of the warmongers every day of your life?
