Story Behind
I have decided to go with my Traditional Personal Style found here with Challenges In Wait and Enter My Mind .
But, along with this style, I have decided to add my Japanese/Chinese Influences. I like the outcome.
You can clearly see the influences, the meaning of the Yin-Yang is clear to everyone, hope you see what I was going for by implementing this feature into the cross section of the womb containing the Twins. (I did this cross section via studying an Internal Anatomy book Called 'Human Body' By Ted Smart).
The Sections in the wall are a representation of a 'Bamboo Miniature Mountain of Bamboo Root' from the Qing dynasty.
These mountains were amoung other things seen as a route to Paradise.
There are many possiblities to what this could mean, the idea for this scene could be different for all those who view. To me, its a symbol of our own nature, the beauty surrounding us, the quest for a Longer, Healthier Life. To fill our brains with knowledge of everything around, the past, current times and the possiblities of future discoveries and ventures. The Bonds we share are great, we all came from the same place, we all relate in our personal life, we all yurn for something more and will face the hardships and pain that stands in our way.
