Spread 198 – The Expressive Ribcage February 1, 2013
Posted by Orly in Uncategorized.trackback
Like my physical journal, the structure consisting of ribs and their connective tissue encloses and protects what’s inside. As I breathe, I speak, and I sing, my ribcage moves in and out, up and down, creating an expansive space where I can sway through the spaces between the bones or use them as a ladder to reach imagined heights. The existence of the protected space allows me to open, stretch, and let out. Although suspended by its edges, there is a sense of flight and transformation. There is always that promise of movement and sentience.
Lovely expresion of your feelings.
I was so drawn to this image when I saw it on facebook I had to click over to read your post about it. After reading your words, I love it even more. Very moving!
“The existence of the protected space allows me to open” what a beautiful expression! All your words here are so meaningful and so reflective of the beautiful image you created.
Love this! Wonderful images and words.
You support us all with your spread and your words, so inspiring, always!
Having seen this image yesterday morning, it was lovely to have its company in my mind through my day and into this morning. I can’t pinpoint what I love about it, something about those figures calmly emerging from the darkness, but the title roars with a big heart.
love love love this.
looks like an awesome inspirational source – thanks for the chance to win!
Yikes, I love this piece! So detailed and I love the light to dark of it
Awesome piece. It seems you are expressing both our ability to transcend our structure, yet stay “safe” within it. Visual expression of the human condition.
Beautiful page Orly!
I love this, the feelings it evokes and the light and dark…wonderful Orly!
