Common Ground, a figurative glass mosaic panel created in the manner of Byzantine art, features imagery rooted in ancient heritage and folk traditions. The artist sees the artwork as neither narrative nor hierarchical; the piece is about harmony and balance and is meant to speak to a common humanity.
