Refugees: Huck and Jim

Inspired by the play, Big River, Huck and Jim share life stories.  The stamp of a dove hovers by Jim, indicating land and freedom are near.  On Huck's side of the raft, a cut-out of a map of Israel and Lebanon alludes to refugees today.  The day sky holds stars of hope and direction. Two friends, momentarily free from society's collective ego, drift along.   (22 x 30 in)  
In honor of Howard Adelman, founder of the Centre for Refugee Studies (Canada), on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
