VICTORY

VICTORY!
Janusz Korczak and his Children rising towards Heaven

This classical depiction starts towards the upper left corner and flows clockwise.

Distant images show the children breaking through the clouds between heaven and earth. Slowly, they become angels. Their brave leader, with his arm around an older child is still comforting and protecting. One of the children holds a basket of potatoes, symbolic of heavens plenty. The right side of the canvas has a background of swirling colors that end going up the bottom left of the painting turning into the bright, pure while light. The children now know their destination is near. G-d waits for his righteous Janusz Korczak to reward him with eternal life and glory for his children.
