mOSAIC OF UNMATCHED STRATEGIES

30 x 20 cm x 2 Pieces, Oil on Canvas

A game board cluttered with pieces from the West and the East. A child asks: How can we play with different rules and pieces? How do we know if we win or lose?

I answer: As a general discerns friend from foe, a politician manipulates outcomes to their favor, a businessman steers the global market, a knight, warrior, or samurai plots their next move.

Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, all share this board. What if we chose not to play? If we remained motionless, untouched by conflict, would peace prevail?

With one move, the game's identity alters. In this incompatible chess, all pieces may be sacrificed.
