Thank you Mark. This is my favorite also. It does not translate into pics well because of the metalic and dark colors combination.

Yianni Digaletos replied
Thank you. Pictures are not a good medium to convey the essence of art. I don’t to have to explain art but this maybe was necessary?

D: thank you so much.. yes this is my favorite piece also. I figured that the best work is one that determines by itself what it wants to be as in this piece.
PS love you work and KUDOS on your goals that is very very commendable. Hurry up with the Alzheimer’s cure.

+Powerful image that really does speak out loud. The description is excellent. As a missionary working with extreme poor in isolated villages in Africa and India, I see first hand the corruption, greed and wickedness that effects the poor. In the west most want more and more wealth, toys comforts and big TV screens, electronic games, bigger cars ect. we think nothing of turning on a tap and greeting clean water, or spending £3 on a burger and fries. But where i work with extreme poor in isolated and rural villages, they don’t have clean water and go blind from river blindness and are eaten alive by intestinal worms. £3 will buy medicines to save a child’s life.
This is a powerful work of art with a real message. *http://www.philadelphia33.org/

Trevor. YOU ARE THE POWERFUL IMAGE. I see what you do as incredible. There is not enough space in this response for me to express what I think of the selfless work that you and people like you do. its beyond my reprehension and i wish i had 1% of the heart that you have.
I had this exact conversation with my nephews just last week. The supermarket gave me a free turkey last month and my sister got the same and I just don’t understand why we allow hunger to fall on another human being… its beyond comprehension. Thank you so much for being brave and selfless for all of us.
