This work by Leland Bell powerfully embodies his exploration of family, community, and spirituality. Here, the expansive blue sky and lush green earth in the background create a calming atmosphere, which contrasts with the vibrant hues of the figures' clothing—bright whites and deep purples, reds, yellows, and greens. Black outlines define the figures, who overlap and crowd the scene, enhancing the feeling of intimacy within the gathering. The harmonious interplay of colours reinforces the sense of togetherness, while the circular motifs in the background evoke spiritual elements, suggesting that we are witnessing a profound, perhaps even sacred, moment.
