eyes representing endless feeling of being watched anonymously by
disapproving mass, paralyzed and frozen in fear from sensation of it;
immobilized by fear-based thinking and inability to imagine/ discern
what is expected in order to be loved and accepted; one main large eye
on far right; background representing peaceful terrains commonly
sought for relief: deep blue tranquility, green forest, and dream of
camping in Canada's lakes and forests in Summertime
birthday card for dear friend with common sorrows, passion for faith
and church (flame of flowers behind); how she inspires joy in music
(smiling piano keyboard); the sky of open freedom she manifests
enabling me to exit my cage of fear inside; "2" refers to both her age
in decade and also how we regularly gather in Christ's name (Matthew
18:20); more peaceful terrains sought for relief; dark background to
recall time at museum and planetarium
cosmetic mirror reflecting addition of goats representing stubbornness
of self-worship and/or self-obsession, the subconscious pagan-ish
perception of creation in pop culture; left and right eyes represent
before and after: one on left looking hopefully into vanity as
self-discovery, one on right subsequently dissillusioned by its
emptiness; many blocked this way and on this road through life; guy
making "O" just to mimic the shape of the cosmetic mirror; inclusion
of strawberries because they're my favorite fruit
