The Lovers
All romantic love is based on self-love, for it is in the eyes of our beloved that we see our ideal self reflected…. and THAT is what utterly captivates us…
Available as a VALENTINE’S DAY card!!!
(what better way to tell your lover that they are a selfish irresponsible louse?!)
This is a manipulation of a self portrait by flickr user “Mon Shari”

Very nice.. but does it also come in a male image for the Valentine’s Day card? :) I see you have a sense of humor.
Thomas Dodd replied

Mr. Shifter.. Happy Valentine’s Day to you too. The subject of men and women would be a long discussion. :) Beautiful pic.

I love the text with this image. Are you interested in psycho analyse ?
Makes me think of Freud a lot.
Thomas Dodd replied
Yes I am Anna – very much, although I am much more intrigued by Jung than Freud..
;D
Jennifer Vickers
Wow! Stunning image and a great insight given in the description
Thomas Dodd replied
Thank you Jennifer!

Yes, I understand, Jung is more mythical/mystical, eh… But Freud was his teacher and friend. I think they’re both interesting. As a psychotherapist I have read Freud more than Jung. But as an artist I agree that Jung can be more intriguing…
Have a nice day,
Anna
Thomas Dodd replied
Thanks Anna – maybe I can lay on your couch sometime..
;P

Narcissus myth.. in a female versión..
too still..
Nature has decided to take advantage of such refelction..
unmoving soul of ideal contemplation..
and open… the buds of fertility..
