Panic | Oil on Canvas

Titled "Panic," this piece is a powerful reflection of fear and anticipation of a significant historical event. It shows a figure crouching atop a precarious metal cone, itself balanced on a jagged volcanic rock formation. The image induces a sense of impending disaster, the figure seemingly paralyzed by fear.

Behind this dramatic foreground lies the idyllic scene of the Hudson River, with the iconic 2001 New York City skyline, including the twin towers of the World Trade Center still intact, peacefully resting under a clear sky. However, a chilling twist is revealed in the river's reflection, where the twin towers appear ablaze, trailing ominous black smoke, hinting at the tragic event that is yet to unfold.

The contrasting reality between the tranquil cityscape and its fiery reflection creates a disconcerting effect, amplified by the cloud formations above the skyline. These clouds bear hidden faces expressing a range of emotions from agony to peaceful surrender, further accentuating the painting's emotional depth.

"Panic" is a compelling portrayal of the tension and fear associated with historical events that shake us to our core. This painting's striking imagery and emotional intensity make it an essential piece for any collection, serving as a reminder of the profound impact historical moments have on our collective consciousness.
