Reclaimed

Two derelict military vehicles sit half-swallowed by jungle — paint flaking, tires rotting, the forest pressing in from every direction with patient, inevitable authority. Rendered in pastel on sandpaper, the textured ground gives the vegetation a lush, almost three-dimensional presence while the rusting metal fades toward abstraction. A meditation on time, war, and the relentless reclamation of the natural world. Original pastel on sandpaper, signed by the artist. 20" × 14".
