Weeping Face growing more — / Weeping Face、さらに・・・

— more painful.
Singing G.F. Handel’s “Lascia Ch’io Pianga,” I worked further on this painting, and I think it’s more painful now. I have some more way to go before getting it done.
In “Weeping Face,”  I am trying to paint a face that cannot even shout for peace, liberation, justice, etc., even though the face definitely yearns for them.
As you know, oppression / persecution often tries to silence the victims —
Obviously, they deserve to shout out, yet it requires the world’s intention to listen to them — before they shout out.

… 痛々しくなりました。GF Handel のアリア “Lascia Ch’io Pianga” を歌いながら描いているうちに、さらに痛々しさが増したと思います。まだ、完成ではありません。
この “Weeping Face”  では、平和や解放、公正を渇望しながらも、それを叫ぶこともできない「顔」を描こうとしております。
ご存じのとおり、弾圧や迫害というものは、犠牲者に沈黙を強いるものです。
犠牲者に叫ぶ権利があることは明らかなのですが、実際に叫ぶには、彼らが叫ぶ前から、世界が彼らの叫びに聞き入ろうとする決意が求められます。

Growing more painful, I think ---    "Weeping Face" still in the making
