Holy Virgin Mary is for the Catholic Church and for many countries in the world our Divine Mother, particularly in Latin America, I find your picture somewhat irreverent, and please don’t take it wrongly, I just want to share with you my humble opinion. Lorena
And I’m glad with your opinion Lorena. I am aware of what you are saying, and I have received reactions of people who feel offended by this image, when I posted it on another photo-community. And I respect and understand it. I did not make this to offend of shock, on the conterary. To me this is an image of purity and womanhood in all its forms, and that is sacred to me.
the figure of Mary is based upon traditional mother, virgin and woman goddess figures from the beginning of time, it was just this version became the state sponsored religion for the Roman Empire and then in the changing and highly political dictates of people who sort to create their own personal determinations upon the world. Which included the removing of a woman’s own sexuality, rather the celebration that had and does occur in other religions. Saw this on your web site and thought it might cause some to feel challenged by it, while I saw it as completing the circle of woman as a whole, not a part.
Amen! And I mean it. You’ve put in words what I feel and tried to say.
There are countries in the world I could be stoned to death for this. That’s why I am even more happy and eager to express in freedom, while living in a free country. It means a lot to me, and hope for freedom of expression for every human being, even when it would offend me.
Lilith It just perfect to express what you want, Well we live in a world of free expression, I said what I said, that was I thought, but also respect and appreciate your work and your talent, and it’s clear is all about cultures. ..Friends? Lorena
Friends of course! I do appreciate you giving your opinion! Thank you Lorena.

Perfect statement. I wish that I had thought of this. I am excited to read what ‘clickinhistory’ said a few comments above. I could not have said it better. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Terry! Yes, Clickinhistory said the right thing, at least for me. I don’t think my English is really bad but it’s still not my first language, so it’s not always easy to express exactly what I mean in English words… I am a writer though…but that’s in Dutch. :-)
