Connivance

Three-dimensional painting made by using paper mache, canvas and oil paint.

The painting touches on the subject of connivance, but not in the context of tolerance or forbearance, but in the turning a blind eye to something wrong. Here, connivance appears as tolerating a situation in which there is harm to another person. It also criticizes the forgiving attitude of evil-doers who feel no guilt or repentance.
I chose the title "Connivance", because it also means collusion and complicity, which further strengthens its message.
