Fragile Things: Life

32" x 32"
Oil on canvas

2016

Life is vibrant, wild and crowded. It crowds and struggles to exist, harbouring hope and disaster. The dragonflies represent the wisdom of transforming and adapting to life. They emerge and fall prey to the equally beautiful birds. The blue irises are a symbol of wisdom. The woman in the blue veil represents the archetypal figure of the female, life-giving nature. She is enclosed in a golden circle of life.
