The floating of a balloon, the flutter of a butterfly, the soaring of a bird and the flight of a moth all may signify the freedom we all desire. That freedom always seems to come with a price. The balloon launches with bullets in it's basket to keep us free or can be used to make us free? Either way lives are lost and death is always guaranteed to preserve that freedom.
The kind of freedom that we perceive we have . Are we really free? The Artist may want you to believe we are or at least make you question if we are. The flame heats the balloon and takes it upon endless journeys but the candle burns until it no longer brightens the dark. Sometimes the moth flies too close to the flame and is free no more.
The Artist's uses various materials in this piece. a porcelain bird, the balloon and moth carved out of wood and painted with acrylic, brass embellishments to coexist with the bullets and a candle. All seem well balanced in portraying the theme of the work.
