This piece is a work of art engendered by empathy for the Nigerian parents who have been separated from their daughters who were kidnapped by Boko Haram from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria. Two hundred and seventy-six tiny dresses represent each young girl who was corralled for the purpose of serving an Islamic Brotherhood symbolized by the circular pattern generated from the centered Islamic motif. Fifty-seven girls escaped as illustrated in the random breakout of uniforms. Underlying the visual symmetry is a loud silence of despair. It was purchased by the Church of the Bretheren, who raise funds for the Chibok teachers.
