"Who was the sculptor and when was the work completed?" Jaime asked.
"This was done by Palor Nym. It's title would translate to something like 'Spirit of the People'. Master Palor completed the work shortly after the end of the Dominion War. That was about the time when are people were really starting to recover from the brutality we, our culture, and our planet had faced."Jaime nodded her head in understanding. She drew closer to the sculpture and took in the lines of the piece. "Would you say that Federation intervention has had any effect on Bajoran art?"
The Bajoran could not help but respond with a smile. "I would say that it would be harder to prove that the Federation intervention didn't have an effect. With the arrival of Starfleet on Deep Space 9, our culture was exposed to another culture. This one was made up of the influences of a number of different worlds. Just by seeing and interacting with these people the world view of Bajorans changed. As a result, art would also be effected."
"Do you have any examples of works produced recently?" Jaime asked.
The art historian nodded and led Jaime toward the far end of the corridor that was set up as a mini-museum. The very end of the hallway was taken up by a large painting. It presented the familiar delta that was the icon for Starfleet with the Bajoran religious icon making up the upper portion of the delta. The delta was golden in color and seemed to float in space. The difference was that the background was not black. It started out as a deep navy along the edges of the painting and lightened as it got closer to the delta. It seemed to symbolize how by working together, the two cultures found the light in the dark. "This painting is called 'When Two Become One'. It was painted by a young artist who grew up in the capital city on Bajor when the Federation took over the station Deep Space Nine. He was heavily influenced by Starfleet and the good things it did for our people as we tried to recover after the occupation.
