Now this i like!! reminds me of that film Demon seed. Great drama! Nice one Kim :0)

I deliberately didn't title it, nor give my concept behind this. Interested to see the various interpretations of this. I miss Ken's postings where lengthy discussions took place on what the image meant.

Ok, from my lack of imagination, i think it looks like a new born tree child emerging from the trunk of the tree. :0)

I have no original thought after reading Pitmans....me likes that thought! lol

 

Tree baby birthing.

 

you're killing me here! i can't keep up ... lemme see . . . the image of the child is very intriguing, and it has a three dimensional quality vis a vis the surrounding mass, so i'm struck by someone being frozen in the mass, or of this seeming like a paper mache sculpture of sorts. i'm not terribly skilled at criticism of this genre of artwork, but kim i so applaud you going for it and admire the result. it deserves a 70 for creativity. aesthetically, the juxtaposition of a sweet baby's face with the rough textures puts me off slightly.

Thanks for not title ing it. What i see is a concept getting more refined on the technicial end and growing redundant on originality.

 

I hope this is "the one"...looks like it. 7/7

I would title it " emerging"...a better one IMO than the previous ones( that were good!), but that has a real impact. You are on a nice road Kim. Pnina

works very well for me with a small exception of the lower right corner. regards,

You got his just right Kim. Aesthetically very pleasing.

Kim, I'm going to stick my neck out here and perhaps be a bit shocking. To me, this conveys death. However, death in a most beautiful way - peaceful, tranquil and serene. It conveys a huge innocence,a smallness and gentleness. As a father of 3 it also represents a huge love - and I think every parents' fear of losing a child. In short, it's sobering and shocking whilst being incredibly caring in execution. Whew.

I love it, love it. so expressive and impressive and emotive wow.. bravo!

and tribute to a death child (girl)

Or a baby-girl sleeping a happy dream about a save-place far away from this crazy & sick world.

 

anyway., its a great photo.thanks for sharing

the real live

COME, said the Muse,

 

Sing me a song no poet yet has chanted,

 

Sing me the Universal.

 

In this broad Earth of ours,

 

Amid the measureless grossness and the slag,

 

Enclosed and safe within its central heart,

 

Nestles the seed Perfection.

 

 

By every life a share, or more or less,

None born but it is born-conceal'd or unconceal'd, the seed is waiting.

 

Song of the Universal, Walt Whitman

I totaly agree with Warren.... and the no title is perfect... 7/7

It strikes me as " Awakening " from a very long peacful sleep, ready to back to the world any moment. Very creatively portrayed, Kim. Simply fall in love with it. Greetings, Cherlyn

Interesting interpretations from everyone. I'll have to "not" title some of my images more often! :) One person nailed the concept, but there were other views I liked better than mine. I'll leave it at that and thank you all for commenting. Howard, as always, words to match the picture.

Very interesting work!

To me, too, the first thought was death interpreted as serene sleep; it doesn't cause anguish, on the ocntrary, tenderness or quiet sorrow. Very well done.

This is a great work Kim

The face and its expression seem ideal for this composition

i agree with warren's sentiments. but kim, only fair to give us your views of it so we can learn more too.

Yup, i agree with Warren too. :0)

but awfully good also

I also do totally agree with Warren on this one Kim. And to me it's one of your best so far in these series.

Well, Warren was the one who nailed it - fear of losing a child (no matter what the age). It's a fear we all have and this was my concept of it. Recently, three sisters in one family died in a tragic car accident and I can't even begin to imagine losing most of your family at one time. Yet for deeply religious people, there is an acceptance of death and they are at peace with it. That all ties in with this composition, too.

 

The view I prefer is Pitman's "tree child birth". It does seem like childbirth in a way, too.

thanks kim. remarkable work, even more so understanding what you had in mind. what a somber piece!
