This was created to express the feelings of PTSD.  Not just the idea of the individual being Unforgiven, but the ability for the individual to forgive others.  What you do day to day effects everyone differently, think about how your actions affect others, especially the little things.  Why is that person who cut you off alive when others who sacrificed their life for the greater good are not alive? What will you do with this one life you have, day-to-day in the little interactions.  I see my husband deal with these thoughts and wanted to express my interpretation of this idea.  A hot sort of tunnel feeling, explosions in the shapeless darkness.  Acrylic on canvas, very stylized version of a photo taken in Cochranville PA.
