Wow, this is totally different and I love it! The image of the "land" just jumps off the page (or out of the screen). Very plain and simple as opposed to some of your works but no doubt still took time and effort to achieve. I love the turquoise blue tones and the strange shape which is enhanced by the warm red and orange tones in the background. Placement on the canvas is very good too, drawing the eye from one side of the frame to the other. The black outlines with crosses reminds me of barbed wire. No idea if this was your intention but in any event very effective in the design.

Yes. You are 100%r right. I had the Israel- Palestinian and our own Jammu&Kashmir in mind. The red denotes the anger, blood against the cold callous calculating minds of the people who govern. To show the complicated theme in a simple and telling way was a challenge for me. Thank you very much for your time and womderful review.Much appreciated.
Comment from Life is but a dream.
Sheshadri for some reason when I saw this fly by me I instantly thought of Israel and the conflict between them and their brothers - the Palestineans.
It's a very strong image full of anger, heat, strength agains cold cold and steely blue.
It could be an image that speaks of any place where there is struggle.
Y'know why I really like it? I like it for the simplicity and in it's simplicity it is soooooooooooo strong. A winner for sure.
