Empathy instinct Part B

20 x 24” acrylic on linen - 2019

This work was created while listening to The Empathy Instinct by Sir Peter Bazalgette, who looks into how to create a more empathetic society.

i was particularly drawn to one comment quoted with in the book by Barack Obama

“if we hope to meet the moral test of our times, then I think we’re going to have to talk more about the “empathy deficit”. The ability to put ourselves in somebody else’s shoes, to see the world through somebody else’s eyes”
