'This is a self-portrait of the artist enjoying time on a local beach in the Dominican Republic. Despite being known as a popular tourist destination - the promotion of recreation and leisure, in fact, predominately benefits foreign visitors (financially), rather than natives of the Republic. In this painting, Dominicans are seen in leisure, on their birth-land, in an attempt to reclaim elements of their own culture and industry.'
