Pregnant Rape Victim from Sudan, Oil on Canvas ~ 18" x 24"

This painting was to show the plight of pregnant rape victims of war.  I appropriated from the Blind Man of Toledo painting by Joaquin Soroll.  That painting sets the stage because the blind man seemed as isolated as a pregnant rape victim in the vast, almost surreal landscape.  Grimly, pregnant victims of rape in war are isolated from their own communities with an undesired, foreign child.
