Symbols in the piece are:
The Four Color Races on the Planet, Yellow, Red, Black and White. All races and civilizations are comprised of the blending of these Four.

The Red Woman represents the Americas' Native cultures with the symbol for PATH OF LIFE (CHOICES).
The Black Woman represents the Black cultures with the symbol for HOPE (OF BETTER FUTURE).
The White Woman represents the White cultures with the symbol of PEACE.

Rocks symbolize strength of character, endurance, tenacious resilliance and foundation.
Flowers symbolize renewal and drought resistance.
Dead branches symbolize the devastation of life in circumstances beyond their control.
The little girl's ball of rainbow colors emphasizes tolorance and compassion.
Question mark asks The Question? by all.
The Storm, of course illustrates the hold on the heart like a hand and fist in resistance to change. The lightening and twister are the harrowing effects of all storms visited on this world leaving behind destruction of all life.
The blue sky and the rose and yellow colored clouds over the landscape envision times of beauty and great joy for all when civilizations come together in healing.
