Dead Forest Pandemonium: the Sentence of the Last Flower.

“When all was over, home came Winter- every branch, bough, trunk and root perished under the cruelty of the overwhelming snow. Except one…it survived even the snow’s cruelty and the fury of the blizzard. This one still shone bright with imprisoned colors even if lost in the middle of all the blinding whiteness. It was alone in a world of dead and dying trees- a lovely flower amongst snappy twigs.

Home came winter…she bears razor sharp scissors in her hand. She holds within her existence the cruel coldness, the dying hope, broken dreams; a bleeding heart and death incarnate. She is the inevitable result, a nightmare woven by those who learn how to surrender.

It who shone bright and survived beyond all endings resolves to bow down showing submission. Its passion still persists… still retains some heat of life. A drop of water formed from frozen morning dew runs down its shape. In its path down the droplet gathers all the forgotten memories. The final moment comes near, but the seeds are immature. In this new ending the one realizes that it is the last of its kind. Her presence is felt. “So where shall I cut?”- the lady asks.

Home became Winter….”

I made this piece as part of a series called The Heartbreak Symphony that started with The Repression of Frustrations: of How I Learned to Sing in Silence. It is a metaphor for human relationship dynamics- pertaining especially to love & pain. Inspiration was taken from events that have occurred to me during this year.

Skillfull work!

I really like it, but isn't it rather funny that Winter has flowers in her dress? :)
Also, everytime a woman is drawn, her clothes do not need to be revealing...
I noticed something weird in the fingers holding the scissors, too.

Other than that, it's really great!

Thank you!

She is not winter that is all that is around them two. She is the personification of all these feelings I have... The red sakura flowers in her dress are representative of my passion. Sakura bloom in April, the month when I was born (4th-4-82). Also note that every single thing in the picture can be found somewhere IN her dress. As for women, I am not studying nor bothering to portray or represent women. She is not even human. She is MY representative, as for elements within me ( note: I am a man). Her clothes HAVE to be revealing, specially around the chest (where the physical heart lies). This is not because of making it sexy, but for baring openly- not much to hide. Breasts real function/purpose is to be milk nurturing- which is white, just as the snow. I find nothing of sexual interest in them. This used to be a generous lady but now she is going to cut the last flower in the world ;-) (But I don't want to go in deeper since I like people to give their own interpretation of what exactly this special flower represents. If you browse through my journal entries you'll find an essay about something like this). As for the hand with the scissors, pick a pair of hair-scissors and put your heart and index finger through the orifices and try to keep them with the legs open and in that position. You will find it looks the same (*note that you cannot really see her index finger because it is almost totally covered by her thumb). :blowkiss:
