MODERN DAY MEETING

STORY: This painting puts a contemporary spin on the ancient traditions of the meeting place. Once we met out under the trees, we now congregate around conference tables in board rooms to discuss our business.

The 4 round circles in each corner represent the country for which we speak.

The 3 joined circles at the top and the bottom of the painting represents the distinct difference between who speaks for which country in the north, the south, the east and the west.

The central piece in the middle is the table. On this day there were 5 points of discussion thus the 5 red circles on the table

On either side of the table are 4 seats for the attendees with 2 seats at the end for the heads of the meeting

The dark single line represents that we are all at the meeting for a common cause and anticipate a favourable outcome

The different colours represent the difference in the landscape of where each participant is from. Yellow - sandy region, dark brown - hilly, light brown - flat plain land, green - scrub lands
