This painting about global warming and drought features the brothers from the band “Mouth Sewn Shut” and the [inverted] bird from their second album, “Doomed Future Today”, in the place of the dove traditionally featured in baptismal works.

Other aspects of the painting include empty and cracked water vessels found in Neoclassical & French Academic art, a dying landscape and girl’s arms featuring symbols for water. A broken hourglass full of sand is used instead of water for the baptism.
