In many countries new born babies are not safe. They are taken from their mothers and sold for profit. This painting represents prayers protecting the mothers and babies. Three evil spirits on the left in an empty room with eight chairs. On the right are Angels protecting the men and women while they pray. Evil versus good. However, I met this woman who was 75 years at that time told me a story about babies taken from young women in Alabama. None of them remembered being pregnant with child. A potion they drank possessed them to walk around in a zombie state of mind.

This has a direct social message that it conveys with sensitivity. The treatment has a folk art quality, which is appealing. Keep up the good work.Anneke Hut 21 Sep 2010
