Item Description
Oil, 11x14 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
A breathtaking landscape, mighty hills, lush greenery and a peaceful environment are what some associate with the northern Parwan province of Afghanistan, nestled in the lap of the Hindu Kush Mountains.
In this province, Gul Ghondi Hill in particular attracts visitors around the time of Nowruz (the Persian New Year), when people arrive to picnic and see the fleeting Arghawan flowers, whose blossoms last barely a week.
Artist's Note:
The violet hue of the Arghawan flowers is striking as they blanket parts of the landscape with their vivid color, offset by the blue of the mountains and sky beyond.
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
"The Taliban labeled me a traitor for working with the U.S. Army and U.S. Embassy and issued a death decree. For two years they hunted both me and my family. In 2017 we arrived at JFK airport, where to our surprise, volunteers met us and took us to a fully furnished apartment, where a whole group of very happy people was waiting to welcome us. Much has happened since that day. Most important, I am not afraid to open the door in the morning or walk out on the streets. I can relax and breathe again, and my children can grow and flourish." - Abdullah*, from Kabul, Afghanistan
*Name has been changed to protect the family's privacy.
