This diorama is inspired by a friend, who is breaking the circle of an “apparently permanently engaged in a specified role or way of life” in a spectacular way.
Libertas is the Roman goddess of liberty. The Statue of Liberty, among other icons, are based on her. She tells us that we are free to make good choices – to choose things that are important and leave paths that no longer lead us where we need to be. We are free to not be enslaved by ourselves or others. This diorama is a reminder to be a fearless, hopeful and supported agent of change.
This is the fastest I’ve finished a diorama – which is exciting. It’s becoming a viable platform for story telling. The above image shows (if you look closely) that the horse really IS in the barn.
To freedom. And having four arms.
wonderful! congrats for your friend!
What a cool, cool piece of art work! I love this!
Very cool.
Sweet. Love 3-d’s in little boxes.
Oh, this just makes me want to jump up & run away! And I’m not even sure from what.
I especially love the man-eating plants hoisting the banner in the foreground. What a lucky liberated lady, your friend!
I would like four arms ;) This is great! Well done.
All that energy, simply drawn and then slid into this box like a treasure. Visible depth makes the eye hopscotch – and mind follow. I love the thought that this box can be closed, slipped in a pocket and taken out again some other time – like any thought we treasure. Great post!
