Bite 65: Kegan Fisher - Earthquake, 2006

Posted on February 21, 2011 by niten
Earthquake, 2006, acrylic on canvas, 213 x 152 cm
Christchurch, New Zealand has been torn apart again by a devastating earthquake. This time dozens have died.  The total effect and lives lost is yet to be determined. It is, however, no doubt, New Zealand's worst disaster in over 30 years.

My thoughts are completely with the people of Christchurch at the moment. I can only imagine the horror of the earth beneath your feet continually shaking from the quake and its aftershocks. We will never forget this day.
