Artist's Comments

I wanted to try and show Cancer as an emotion and concept. This is what I came up with.

Well I guess an explanation is needed... The marble represents a spot. The whole face is the person (Familial unit, group, friends) is the before, the torn face is the after. Cancer is a deceiving thing. On the outside everything looks great, on the inside it's not. The before and after pictures of a family group going though this with a loved one is an ominous thing. Sometimes you can't even recognize them...

Hope this helps a bit...

Enjoy...

Dave

as a a cancerphobe, and one who has had many family members taken by this desease, this piece has a strong impact on me... nice use of colors, and simple form.

Me too my uncle passed away in Dec from lung cancer...

But i don't think the colors here really touch me

I think if he used the color black for one of the masks maybe the last one....

*sigh* life....

VERY VERY cool!

I love the colors... or the absence thereof. And the one red dot - very powerful!

:thumbsup::D

Really, if there was an 11th Commandment, that should be it.
