The painting Labyrinth of Medea is in response to the US service members who died as a result of a 2021 bomb attack on Abbey Gate, Kabul Airport, Afghanistan. The result of the attack compels thirteen, newly designated Gold Star families to ask the question ‘why’.

The artwork is one in a series of semi-abstract portraits (Head Games) that explores the tension and torment expressed through facial fragments and linear patterns. It employs a tetradic color palette (two complementary color pairs) including one dominant color and strategically placed analogous variations throughout the artwork.
