“A penguin is a bird that cannot fly! I am a man! I have a name.”
I like the idea of upsetting the norms. The contrast of a penguin is amazing. Why do you identify with Penguins?
Lulu, I like your collage work. Good Depth.
The Penguin: A perfect metaphor for mans’ condition. A paradoxical existence. At once a bird and yet not able to fly. Like the angles that fell from heaven. Like Adam and Eve who have eaten from the fruit of knowledge, the humble penguin is above all a symbol of what it means to be alive as a thinking being.
Thanks John;) Like Madonna I want to go deeper and deeper…”mix-o-lage” is a perfect term-snipping, pasting, mixing it up- it’s great
