Profound, utterly moving... haunting...
The artist has asked me to remove the paintings or pay a licensing fee, which I unfortunately cannot afford at this time. To view the paintings: Please visit "The Invisible Women of Darfur" collection, by Beverly Collins.
All the paintings are hauntingly beautiful, but i had previous posted the paintings entitled: Oppression, Invisible and Together, because they totally captured me. Along with the painting Duty, which is on the Dear Sudan, website, these few specifically speak to me, haunt me, and require some response from me...for they tell a tragic truth of our sisters in Darfur, Sudan, and they resonate with the universal story of pain and loss in the human experience... a visit to the site is priceless.
(be sure to read the text page, it names the horrific crime of rape as a weapon of terror and war, as well as offers the artist insights into her artwork).
powerful and very true impressions, thanks for bringing this to us
