Thank you very much. Those statues can have many different means, thats the beauty about it, people can pull from it what they want. For me it represents the imperfections people recon they have even though they dont, issues with their body and their looks, something hopefully those little kids wont fall victim to.

That's a great interpretation. I thought of them as faceless, nameless people who those kids will become. Y'know, when we are children, we want to be somebody, something special and unique - and when we grow up it turns out we're just like everybod else.

thats why, to stop being the same as everyone, we must make our own way through the maze and make the right choices.

Red balloons.
"Once they have entered in the labyrinth, the last thing we'll see of them will be the balloons."
A lot of symbolism in this one. I love it

This is your greatest image. I hate to tell you, but it beats "Enter My Mind". This is brilliant in concept and even moreso in artistic presentation. I'm in awe.

why thank you very much, and im very glad to here that actually. Enter My Mind has been at the top for many months now with over 180 favourites and 1700 views, hope this beats it eventually or a future one does, then i have to beat Room 106 which has over 3330 views. Im glad to here that my new works are slowly becoming better than that one

yup follow the leader, even though it aint taken from there, there are based on it. It was wierd how it happened, i tried to get the pose so many times, looked through many magazines and papers to find it, kept getting it wrong then all of a sudden the CD cover fell out of a pile of papers i was carrying, then heypresto. Thank you very much for the comment and the favourite, greatly appreciate it
