"Community" is a striking expression of unity, generosity, and shared purpose. Through abstract forms and glowing hues of gold, orange, and red, the composition captures an intimate moment of giving—hands extended in an eternal cycle of offering and receiving. The radiant light at the center serves as both a focal point and a metaphor for the collective energy that binds individuals together.
Anne Reid Artist, known for her abstract expressionist style, employs bold movement and fluid transitions of colour to depict an emotional and spiritual dynamic. The interplay of hands suggests themes of generosity, trust, and interdependence, mirroring the ways people connect through acts of kindness and support.
The warm, fiery tones intensify the emotional resonance of the piece, creating an atmosphere of both warmth and urgency. The blurred edges and layered textures allow viewers to interpret the work through their own experiences, making it a deeply personal yet universally relevant reflection on human relationships.
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen...is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood."
Isaiah 58:6-8, New International Version
