                <text>The Moon-After,&#13;
Virginia Tech Memorial&#13;
&#13;
(2007) 40"x30" oil on canvas &#13;
 &#13;
It is the first time the full moon is observed after the massacre of Virginia Tech. For many, the moon will never look the same again. &#13;
&#13;
This is a quest to extract the feelings for the souls that will be missed in the lives of many, and for the souls among us that were touched in different ways. &#13;
&#13;
A trans-mix of materialistic and spiritual elements is represented by colorless buildings, lilies to convey an overwhelming feeling of surprise, shock, grieve and hope. Thirty-two different types of lilies in white and orange emerge from the gray-shaded mix of figures, symbolizing the spirits of the 32 victims. &#13;
&#13;
With the absence of the victims from sight, they become like images, or like seasonal plants, that are soon gone. &#13;
&#13;
Lilies were chosen to represent the diversity of the victims, as lilies grow all over the world in different types. &#13;
&#13;
The work on this memorial started with the first full moon after the massacre, and was concluded early June 2007. &#13;
