“While painting the figure of a refugee wrapped in a golden emergency blanket, Hendrix realized the stance echoed that of the fleeing peasant in Goya’s Witches’ Flight. This unexpected connection brought the allegories together: Goya’s vision of superstition, fear, and willful ignorance resonates with today’s migrant crisis. By adding the leg of a witch to her composition, Hendrix draws a line between past and present, exposing how societies continue to look away from suffering, whether under the shadow of tyranny or in the face of displacement and loss.”

“This painting takes inspiration from the posture and aura of Waterhouse’s Cleopatra, reimagined for the present. A queen reclining, absorbed by her phone, as the red glow of a burning world seeps into the scene. The image speaks to the detachment and distraction with which we often meet catastrophe, distant enough to scroll past, yet close enough to illuminate everything.
