'The leaves within this painting symbolise Bermuda's timeless nature. They act as the backdrop to fragmented moments of BermudaÕs people and culture. Sewn into the canvas, the stamp blends Bermuda's past and present. ItÕs contemporary colours contrast with a historic time stamp and one of the island's oldest buildings. The abstract figures are depicted through a blend of modern and traditional painting techniques, capturing Bermuda's dynamic spirit and the beauty of its people and landscape.'
