Síocháin
is the Irish word for peace and this painting was conceived while
Senator George J. Mitchell was negotiating and ultimately achieved a peace
accord, between Northern and the Republic of Ireland in 1998. Green,
white and orange are the colors of the
Irish Flag, green represents the
Irish Catholics, the orange represents Northern Ireland and Irish
Protestants, and the white is the hope of peace between the them. Each
Color has a series of mazes with one path from the green and one from
the orange leading into the center Labyrinth. A labyrinth typically has
one entrance and one exit, but the labyrinth in the center of this
painting has two entrances, so that one could enter from the green or
orange side and meditate or pray to keep the evil spirits away from the
peace that is represented by the only pure white in the center of the
labyrinth.
