Ann McCarty – McCarty-Hector and His Son

The artwork depicts a dramatic scene of a fiery blaze consuming a section of land. Intense flames in vibrant shades of orange and yellow dominate the center, contrasting sharply against the dark, smoky sky. The overall mood is tense and dynamic, capturing the destructive power of the flames amid a smoky, turbulent atmosphere. The doomed relationship between the two trees is reminiscent of the tale of Hector from Homer’s Iliad.
