This is the first painting I did in my life of something that impacted me deeply. I saw this monument at the Dachau Concentration Camp when I was a teenager. The original monument was designed by Nandor Glid, a Yugoslavian artist and concentration camp survivor. His sculpture conveys fence posts, barbed wire and human skeletons. The human figures depict those who, in acts of desperation, jumped into the barbed wire fence to end their suffering. The instant someone ran towards the fence they were shot by the SS guards. We create art to heal and to remember.
