  • wingsoffire

    wingsoffire

    She is afraid of letting go of her mask, it has been apart of her for so long and by doing that she is revealing ther real her, not knowing if she will be accepted or people will approve. Fear can always hold us back!!! But, deep inside of her she really wants too, you can almost see her hand reaching out and hear her cries at night. Chickie , these series are so full of life and a sad reality for some, Amazing you are!!!!!!

  • jacqleen replied

    awwwwwwww….I feel like I just need to post YOUR comments next to my pics…cuz U tell SUCH good stories about them :))

  • happyfeet5

    happyfeet5

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This one really is so heartbreaking. You were able to capture that need of her mask with the way she is outstretching her arm. And I didn’t think that this would get to this level, but with this series of pieces, you were able to tell a beautiful, haunting story of the vulnerability of woman. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this. Iris

  • jacqleen replied

    awwwwwwwww…..I’m SOOOOOOOO GLAD you loveeeeeeeeee these little stories …that means soooooooo MUCH to me, more than YOU will EVER know ..thank YOU Iris…muah….xx

    wow this is gooooo brilliant jacq, thats the only way i can describe them
    just pure art work … i love the strong focus on the mask and how she is REACHING for it… i like the words here too, i get the feeling as if, now one can really understand or know why we feel certain ways about things that may seem insignificant to others, but vital to ourselves
    this is another masterpiece :)

  • Trish Woodford

    Trish Woodford

    Such a wonderful evokative piece Jacqleen – beautifully done!!!! I think we all hide behind a mask in varying degrees and at certain times – would probably be quite terrifying to be stripped of it completely. Love the image and the symbolism :))

  • jacqleen replied

    LOL…..I don’t think it would terrifying…...to others, ONLY to OURSELVES :(((( but U R so RIGHT :) thank YOU Trish :) mauh xx

    note to self, in fit of honesty, many a beautiful object is thrown away, but the law of humanity says much will then be undertaken to reclaim such illusions, footnote..see sub heading model behaviour under childlike ;) So just like the cave dwellers in the fire light, she reaches once more for the comforting weight of fear already known

    Nicolette Thain

    I relate to this, it takes an incredible amount of trust for one to let others see whats behind the mask but there doesn’t seem to be the quality of trust required to throw our masks away… well done
