The Holocaust  
This page contains images from the Shoah Triptych series, created in 2005. The images presented are studies and not necessarily completed works -- the ultimate aim is for Ayton to create large-scale versions of these for exhibition.
The purpose of this body of work is to expose the horror of genocide and fascism, move the viewer towards the hope of liberation, and ensure that we never forget nor repeat this history.
