Artist's Comments

A window to the world can sometimes make us realize our lonliness to a fuller extent.
You are never more alone than in a crowd.

This piece means a great deal to me...thanks to all of you who see.

The angle is fantastic... and if you look carefully there is a moonish feel on this.... like she and the moon were lonely floating in a dark night.... love that... also the contrast with the crowded buildings... apart...

works on many levels... impressive :) (Smile)

Sometimes things aren't what they seem. Train your eyes to handle that tricky "perspectives"

WOW! The symbolic elements scream off this image. The fetal nude form, enclosed by a ring from without darkness prevails. The claustrophobic grasp of that ring filled with a city skyline, with the lonely figure crouched ignoring the scene within. The moon imagery mentioned by mar1an0 adds to the feminine elements, the blue ties it to water. I could go on..... It's a fantastic image!

the foetal pose, inside a circle, really makes me think of a baby in utero, lonely

the windows shows the outside world... the adult one (city, buildings, highway... lanscape of today's workers)

baby is still quiet, but soon he'll have to open the window, and fly with his own wings


i also like the idea mentioned Post Above above, about the moon...
like a pierrot lunaire


and what you say in the description about being lonely in the crowd... it came to my mind so often during my 2 daily train and, above all, metro travels to school !

Cute, love the circular window, works great to create a natural border to the subject.
