This is a copy of a Picasso's Tradegy. In the original painting a family of three are posing on a beach, showing their misery and dispare. In this version the familiy is placed in front of a scrambled background of blocks, which represents the distortion of reality during horrible and tragic times. However, there is still hope as the title suggests. The family is still together, and now must face the challenge ahead. This painting was painted shortly after the September 11th tradgey in New York, which responds to the misery and saddness from all the people involved. Even with time this painting continues to be relevant, especially in the wake of the Tsnuami tradgey.

Going with the technological theme, this painting is a commentary on social isolation through technology. With the convience of telecommunication, there is a possibily of eliminating human interaction all together. Consequently we've become bound to our technology. Ironically, the very device that was invented to connect us together is also isolating us.

Painted from a photo, the outlining features are painted as blocks in acrylic, while the details of the face is painted with watercolour. The face is actually painted on a print out of the original photo, if you look closely, you could see shades of the original photo. The details of the face is painted over the print out with watercolour, giving it a ghostly image. This painting is best viewed from a far for the full effect.
