Story / Additional InfoPart of a series of painted collages that incorporated religious or classical images from art books to illustrate various themes, in this case, global warming. The title is loosely derived from a Beatles song, “Let it Be”. The artist is referring to the need for hope in a world that at times feels hopeless regarding the health of the planet. The mother figure holds a baby who is almost indiscernible, representing the next generation and the question of the state of the world awaiting them. The artist uses a rich assortment of textures that can be discerned in closeup view. The artist was influenced by Romare Bearden and other collage artists.
