Questionable

   
Questionable
  • 2011
  • Oil on canvas
  • 18 18 × 24 18 inches(46 × 61 cm)

  • Signed lower right: BAK

  • Ever in question: Life and death. War and peace. Offering and sacrifice.
    The trinity of pawns/soldiers in various states of disrepair.
    Pierced, masked, Armor protected with the hint of the box of the tsephillin.
    Spears and poles create the graphic context.

    The landscape is littered with fallen soldiers/pawns.
    The question mark is suspended above the scene as if crucified.
