This image represents two paintings to be hung side by side. The social network on the left would be 1 x 2, the cityscene on the right would be 3 x 2 (measured in feet). I wanted to express connectivity of the social human network, along with the vibrancy of the new world city. Since the city is in the future, I blurred the details, the importance being placed on its colorfulness, not the physical structure which is unknown at this time. The mountains keep the city grounded in the physical realm, and keep it in touch with mother nature. The colors domminated the picture planes of both paintings are orange, green and red - the colors common in all flags of Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. Yet the city is actually Mumbai (formerly Bombay) which has become a jewel and focus of economic development in this area of the world. It is also presented as the only red dot in the social network painting on the left. The usage of Blue throughout both works is a reference to "Blue skies", opportunity, promise of new beginnings and prosperity.
