In the Vortex of Domestic Violence

Birabi

The Luweero Triangle

In this abstract painting, it is a domestic setting featuring a husband (on the left), the wife (on the right) and the child in between the two parents. A heated disagreement between the father and mother has broken out and the encounter has culminated in the husband’s onslaught of physical assault with a slap about to land on the wife’s face.

Their son caught in the vortex of this sager is utterly helpless, horrified, confused and feels destitute.

This painting is a prompter to parents to pool their marriages/homes from worlds of chaos into worlds of love, emotional security, peace, joy and understanding.
