Item Description
Oil, 11x14 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
Pakistan's largest food crop is wheat. The annual harvest starts in April, beginning in the south and moving geographically upwards along with rising temperatures. It culminates in the mountainous north before the monsoon rains set in.
The harvest is an important event for many families; it is said that this three-to-five-week activity can result in enough wheat stock to last a family for a year and enough cash to sustain them for three months. Due to the high cost of machinery, much of the harvesting is done by hand.
Artist's Note:
The rich golden color of the wheat crop with its spiky shapes is an arresting contrast with the white of the farmer's soft cotton garb and gentle hands.
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
In 2019, there were 137,000 Pakistani refugees under UNHCR's mandate, and 56,000 asylum seekers. Many have fled due to violent religious persecution, against Hindus, Christians and Ahmadis (a minority sect of Islam). In Fiscal Year 2020, 169 refugees from Pakistan were admitted to the U.S., where they were able to restart their lives in safety.
