such a brilliant idea. the first thing that popped into my head was the idea of being born into slavery.

Marvelous stuff. It reminds me of Magritte, although it is also 'dirtier' and thus more realistic then the realist surreal style of Magritte, if you get my drift. I am not entirely sure about the background though, as it reduces the sight on the bars, making them bend a bit before my eyes. Perhaps a blue sky would have worked a bit better, although it may not have conveyed the message it does now.

The background isn't connected to the message of the piece and I second you idea to have sky in there instead. It's just a tough thing to get this hug cage photographed. I'll re-shoot it one day anyway.

Oh I love this. I was drawn in by the egg, because I love eggs. Hahaha. :D But this is incredible. At first, I thought the cage was too tall, but I kept looking at this and then realized that it is absolutely perfect. I love the danger in the egg hanging so highly above the bottom of the cage. Balance is such a fragile thing and if it falters, everything will be destroyed. Oh dang, I love cryptic messages. Especially ones involving eggs. :+favlove:

+impressive new direction you've taken... i see solid conceptual thinking here, plus a neatly executed piece. formal simplicity at its best and such a weight of ideas: a social commentary, a deep introspective questioning, an ironic witticism, and whatever another viewer might add. thought provoking and visually challenging. my respect, J.+
