From the Artist: "I am a Nigerian artist working and living in the Gambia. In this painting I tried to portray America as she is – a multi-religious faced woman, weeping and engulfed in smoke, flame, and the pain of one day's doom/tragic experience. As if that isn't enough hanging from her neck lace is a plane (terrorist threat).

I would have titled this painting "Bad things happening to good people" but decided to choose a phrase that best describes what I feel and "SHE" feels as she asks why, why and why. Psalm 42;10 and Psalm 43;17 is what all the good people should know now.
