This is my posting for the Illustration Friday theme, Totem. Totem is defined as a natural object or animal believed by a society to have spiritual significance, and adopted by it as an emblem. Crane mythology has a long history in many cultures (particularly in Asia) as symbolic of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures, and symbolizes good fortune and longevity. It has a fabled lifespan of a thousand years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. After WWII, the crane came to symbolize peace and the innocent victims of war.
Oh one more attractive version of your previous work!
ReplyDeleteI like, I like, did I told you I like?
The circular composition makes my eyes do not escape from your artwork :)
Thank you - and yes, you're correct - it is a second version of last week's. Only this time the babies have come out to investigate what is going on. One woman is leaving, but the second one is looking for the cell phone that she has dropped.
