Painting of a girl and dog riding a steer
The Activist

2024, Oil on Belgian linen bonded ACM , 100 x 122cm

As improbable became possible sliding straight into reality,
I cringed and felt the bile rising.
The lethargy and apathy of those crying 'poor me',
I bristled and felt the bile rising.
With this taste of disgust and severe lack of trust,
I felt... no, I had to insist.
That we stand up and fight for we know what is right,
and show them that we still exist...Resist.
