Don't Look Back! You're not Going That Way!

30 × 30 inches

A contemporary Cubist oil painting exploring memory, national identity, and perseverance through fragmented imagery and symbolic American iconography, Don’t Look Back! You’re Not Going That Way! reflects on uncertainty, resilience, and the tension between past and future. Influenced in part by Farron Khan’s military background and reflections on recent American history, the work uses layered color, fractured forms, and shifting perspectives to examine how hardship, debate, and collective memory continue to shape the evolving American experience. Positioned at the center of the composition, the Statue of Liberty emerges as a symbol of endurance, responsibility, and forward movement rather than retreat, inviting viewers to consider both what has been endured and what still remains possible.
