Description:

This painting is a fairly straightforward representation of my disgust with the people who are taking advantage of the deaths of the 9/11 victims. The Jersey Girls are a particularly offensive portion of this group because they work so hard to be prominent in the media by exploiting the deaths of their husbands. This behavior is repulsive in so many ways and belittles the losses suffered by everyone in the terrorist attacks on the Trade Center, The Pentagon, and the planes on 9/11.

The vultures are an obvious representation of the widows. The rest of the imagery is representative of the death and destruction they use for their personal benefit. If you look closely, you can see the firefighters risking their lives to rescue anyone they can.

A great deal of research went into the visual components of this painting. Although there are no graphs or quotes included, there is an article listed below that gives some perspective on the behavior of the widows.
