ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The richly detailed, dense forest imagery of Michael Brophy's Passage opens onto a central human figure, dwarfed by the monumental trees that surrounds him. This piece explores the conflicting and complex relationship we have with nature.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Bridgeport School District.
