Here is the typical triptych form that Hilliard uses. His father, one of his more popular subjects, is featured. The separation he feels with his beloved father is most palpable in this work where it is symbolized by an expanse in the middle frame. Age also separates them, but we see through to their shared expressions and tattoos. The focus on the sky and stretched out wilderness seems to show reverence for his father. The tones and the subjects' poses give me a feeling of stasis slipping into movement.
