Wake Up being the first in a series adds a compelling sense of narrative. It sets the tone, introducing the dark weight of geopolitical destruction through the tempestuous clouds and fractured land. The imagery carries a forewarning—a storm that spans not only this canvas but ripples across the series, demanding attention to the consequences of human discord.

As the starting point, this painting establishes the visual and emotional groundwork for what is to come. The clouds with their varied shades—ominous, mingling with faint traces of crimson—suggest an unfolding story. Their forms are layered with unease, yet they hold the promise of dialogue between earth and sky, destruction and hope.
