The figure is cast off shore into the polluted water in the dark. In the background are factories spewing out carcinogens. A light shines down from the heavens with a noose dropped from the sky. The question is if it’s a noose to end his suffering, or is it a halo coming to his salvation, or is it both. The original was done with pen, ink, and acrylic. The smoke was done with a natural sponge.
