The Shards of Lust was created in 2006. The painting is an abstract of colorful straight and curvaceous needle-like strokes. It illustrates the pain we inflict upon ourselves when we react upon superficial emotions. In the case of this painting, the emotion is lust. In the center of the painting is an obscure, black face that is contoured to express obvious pain. Falling short of real love, lust always results in destruction.
