The Oasis of Prosperity and the Traditional Western Family

Monochromatic drawing made with a black ballpoint pen on August 28, 2024, measuring 20 x 15 cm. The artwork depicts a large family peacefully enjoying their garden: the mother with her younger children in the artificial lake while the dog runs around, and the father and eldest daughter picking papayas. The garden features many palm trees, especially date palms (Phoenix dactylifera), but also other palms such as the Cuban royal palm (Royal palm), Christmas palm (Adonidia), Chinese palm (Livistona chinensis), European fan palm (Archontopheonix alexandrae), along with fruit trees like orange, mango, papaya, pitaya, avocado, and banana trees, creating an environment that resembles a tropical oasis in the middle of the desert.
