No Time to Grieve, 2003
oil on canvas,
dimensions: 36" x 36"

"It has always been the custom to spend time with the relatives of the deceased during their time of grief. In this time certain customary rites have to be observed, but you barely have time to grieve before you are called away to another funeral. Soon you are called away again to help at the neighbor's funeral."
