Paper Thin

Empathy is paper thin in this teenage boy's life. You will notice that this teenager is surrounded by the colour red. In this case, red represents the never ending struggle that comes with dealing with a cognitive disability. The only stabilizing factors are a handful of loving people in his life and a belief in God’s presence amidst his suffering. His belief seems so ethereal it is as thin as his drawing of an angel floating aimlessly in the wind.

The intercession, a rescue from the deluded

Designated Painting

Warm and real, the vivified child ascends through streams of liberating fire and light blown by the breath of God. Below, deluded phantoms obliviously drift towards hell, grey and empty pontificating ghosts deliberating lofty dissertations as to their great accomplishments, all founded on merciless indifference.

The rising radiant child is actually Judy, a victim of Alberta's eugenics program. The descending dead are the provincial leaders responsible for Alberta's eugenics program, which was based on the same ideology that inspired the eugenics program of Nazi Germany. They are Premier Earnest C. Manning, Premier William Aberhart, Emily Murphy and Premier John E. Brownlee.
