FDR pop-art.
I've seen versions of his portrait in so many stories of our American lives.
I wanted to keep the shadows & darkness (using the LP record itself without painting), while stylizing the pop-art elements.

During the Ashuri (Assyrian) siege Judith rallies the leadership & decapitates Holofernes with his own sword.
I took the painting by Caravaggio as the basis for my version. I wanted to capture her darkness against her light.
But even her shadows contain shadows.

Last week we observed Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Memorial Day), reminding us of the price of not having a Jewish State.
Tonight we observe Yom HaZikaron (Israel Memorial Day), reminding us of the price of having one.
May all those in need of healing find comfort and love.

I’m so glad, Senator Van Hollen, that you went to El Salvador to demand the release of your constituent, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
When you get back to DC, can you ask my NJ Senator Andy Kim to do the same for his constituent, Edan Alexander?
