#139: The gulfs between humans and the hopes for the future

Oil on canvas.  

A deep ravine, its sides high, rocky and steep. Across it has been built a bridge upon which people from either side of the ravine can meet.  

In the bridge are cracks but there are also people from both sides ready to plaster them, and scaffolders and builders ready in case it falls. 

At the bottom of the ravine is dynamite and at the sides of the bridge are people holding burning torches.  

From either side, people are making their first, tentative, steps to meet in the middle.
