Fly!

I love this sculpture; the lines, the strength, the nobleness. It speaks to me.


It whispers, "Moni though your feet are plastered to the ground, look how big your wings are." "Surely you can fly."

It shows that you have not fully realised your potential. There are still lots of things waiting for you to discover/do/achieve out there. The well-built and muscular sculpture suggests that you are a capable and strong person. The sculpture is standing on the edge, ready to fly off, yet at the same time, hesitant. Go, Moni, reach for the stars... and share with us your journey there !

Hey, that is a really cool interpretation. Where is it?

Moni said...

Blue--That was a brilliant assumation, so uplifting and I hope you right. ;) Do you like art? Or, better yet, are you an artist? Thank you for being so encouraging. ((hugs))

Scott--I'm glad you like it. I thought it was cool too. The piece is called Angel of the North, by sculptor Anthony Gormley. It is located in Gateshead, England. ((hugs))

I want one in my back yard...ya think Mr. Gormley would be up for it? ;)

I drove by the Angel of the North during my first trip to the UK in 2003. It's a really amazing sight to see!

Could be an opportunity to try your hand at sculpture. You could be like Dryfus with mashed potatoes in Close Encounters.

Mary--Wow! I'll bet that was awesome. Did you get any pictures? Is the Angel in the middle of a round-a-bout? If so, you probably didn't have time to snap any pics. ((hugs))

Scott--Ha, yeah. "What medium to you work in?" "Well I work in potatoes, mashed to be exact." I'll be famous, you'll see my work on dinner plates all over the nation. ....I'm just a little silly today, pardon me. ;)

I did get one photo of it, but it came out kind of blurry. We were on the interstate highway on our way to Scotland and our tour guide pointed it out as we drove by, so I snapped a photo from the bus (hence the blurriness! lol!). I wish we could've stopped to get a closer look!

{{{hugs}}} Hope you're having a good week!

Thanks for sharing the information on the sculpture. It is indeed an awesome piece.

It speaks to me too. It says, "I am rusty," heh!

Funny how you never appreciate the things around you, huh? To me it's just a big ugly lump of rust. I never thought for even a minute it could inspire.

*rushes off to look for an anti-cynic class in my area

McFox--***pinch!**

Now, off to your anti-cynics class! ;p
