Well, just because something is perceived as bad doesn't mean it should be shunned. It shouldn't be glorified either.
St Joan of Arc was a girl with a holy purpose. She was also a girl with a sword. She was righteous, exonerated for false charges against her after her death. Heck, she's a saint for crying out loud. Incidentally, she is one of my favourite saints. In spiritual warfare we imagine swords and armour, because there is an allure to them. Heck, even something as straightforward as Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" has a Sword of Truth to slay the demon.
If I were to interpret "no fear of falling," I'd imagine a person healed from the trust issues she has, inflicted on her from years of parental or other abuse -- but she no longer has to fear making a mistake and then being beaten up for it. She no longer has to look over her shoulder where one fell swoop would end her life, or have her taken away into the night to be tortured. It would be like the people from the Japanese death marches were suddenly liberated, they wouldn't have to fear falling if they were tired, because their oppressors were no longer there.
I loved your interpretation of "No Fear of Falling" simply loved it.
Sigh, now I have to go back to the drawing board and figure out something even better.
Can you imagine the mental struggle LMAO! I laugh only cause I need the release. If I don't laugh I will cry.
To imagine you could read into my work something so real. To know that you could feel the life or death struggle and be made to compare them to the Liberation of death marches. To know I inspired that thought, makes me want to be a better artist and continue my work.
Thank you!
St. Joan of Arc's tale is the very reason I began saying anything.
She was a saint true enough.
She is not alone, Ever heard of Amy Carmichel? Can you imagine all of the artists and scholars and liberators that had an idea and only after they, "died," where they appreciated. I suppose it is childish of me to be so passionate about it. Only I feel we are not supposed to be made to wait until after we die to be told, "I see you."
Really though you gave me that spark today. hmm I am feeling good!
