MY BAHBY (Grandmother)
Acrylic and charcoal on paper, 22x30", 2025
Ghetto living space was limited and precious. It was not unusual for four families to share a two-bedroom apartment and a single bodily waste bucket. Many of the aged, infirm, poor, and ill were the greatest ghetto sufferers. It was the everyday holiness of proffered shelter, nourishment, warmth, and kindness keeping them barely alive.
Even so, begging is now a full-time occupation. MY BAHBY, with her scarf wrapped tightly about her head against the January cold, begs for coins.
