Cancer of Decay: The Corruption Beneath captures the slow, insidious spread of corruption within institutions and personal relationships. The abstract cracked forms resemble cancer, symbolizing how corruption infiltrates and spreads, much like a disease within an organization. Inspired by Dana’s observations of corruption in the workplace, this piece mirrors the toxic dynamics where false promises, deceit, and manipulation flourish beneath the surface. The dark, winding forms represent these unseen forces, while patches of light depict the moments of clarity where these systems can be exposed and dismantled. This painting is a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance, courage, and the continual fight for integrity and justice in every aspect of life.
