Artist's Comments

this is the same series as little miss sunshine..

the concept is: human body (sometimes, his/her mind too) acts as a big prison to his/her soul.. that's what the cage represents. for this philosophic concept, i use the theory of Michel Foucault.

and for the little bell labeled "patience" is a reminder for all human beings, that even though you're locked in your own prison, be patience yet alarmed (get it? bell as an alarm) at all time..

big thanks to resurgere for the background stock [link]
and pbstock for the cage and the bell [link]

marvellous work..
in my works i'm kinda trying to show that human mind being a prison idea too.. only i use caves to show that :) so this is very inspiring.. maybe i should try cages too :)
i realy like the whole atmosphere in this one.. almost can feel the aroma of time trought the screen :)

the first thought i hade was that bird flied away and i have to be patient.. while it returns :) you know.. from that saying that if you love some one you have to let it go.. and it will return if it loves you too :)
