This statue, entitled "The Resolute Lincoln", was sculpted by well-known Lincoln sculptor Avard Fairbanks. The statue depicts Lincoln at a pivotal time in his development, where he resolves to put down the ax and pick up the book. It is meant to reflect the changes that Lincoln went through while at New Salem. The statue, a gift from the National Society of the Son of Utah Pioneers, was dedicated in 1954.

India’s top judge said Monday (18/03/2013) that the Italian ambassador cannot claim diplomatic immunity in a growing dispute over two Italian Marines who skipped bail while on trial for murder.
Chief Justice Altamas Kabir said Daniele Mancini, who had negotiated the marines’ release last month so they could vote in Italy’s election, had waived his immunity by giving an undertaking to a court that the pair would return.
“A person who comes to court and gives an undertaking has no immunity,” Kabir told a hearing into the case, which has caused a diplomatic crisis between Rome and New Delhi.
Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone, who are accused of murdering two Indian fishermen last year, had been given permission to fly to Italy to cast their votes on the understanding that they would return.
But the Italian government announced last week that it would renege on its commitment to send the men back, prompting fury in New Delhi.
The Indian government has warned of “consequences” and is reviewing its ties with Italy, while the Supreme Court ordered that Mancini should remain in the country and explain himself in court Monday.
Mancini’s lawyer argued that the diplomat enjoyed immunity in line with international rules that also guarantee foreign representatives freedom of movement. But he pledged that his client would stay in the country.
India’s Foreign Ministry has also argued that Mancini may have waived his immunity by willingly submitting himself to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court by signing a personal affidavit guaranteeing the return of the marines.
Without legal protection, he could be prosecuted for contempt of court.

Italy waived the immunity of it's ambassador under Vienna convention when they made him the guarantor to ensure the marines return to India. The Italian government and the ambassador approached the court with the plea. Therefore, there is indeed waiver by the Italian government. Now they cannot go back and claim there was no waiver. You can argue if immunity can be implicit waived or not. That depends on how good a lawyer you are.
Secondly, every law has exceptions including the Vienna convention.
Article 32 (3) The initiation of proceedings by a diplomatic agent or by a person enjoying immunity from jurisdiction under article 37 shall preclude him from invoking immunity from jurisdiction in respect of any counterclaim directly connected with the principal claim.
4.Waiver of immunity from jurisdiction in respect of civil or administrative proceedings shall not be held to imply waiver of immunity in respect of the execution of the judgement, for which a separate waiver shall be necessary.
So your argument is that India is violating Article 32(4). We haven't gotten to that part yet. We are still at Article 32(3). Restriction on movement is not a judgement. The Supreme Court is India. There is no distinction. The justices are well aware of the convention and are not acting illegally. They are restrained even in their determination.
If the marines don't return by 22nd they will hold the Ambassador in contempt and ask the Indian executive to declare him persona non-grata. This judgement will be in compliance with the Vienna convention. Convicted criminal ambassador won't serve time in India, Italy can choose to ignore the judgement. How is that for justice in line with the International Law.
If you must make a legal argument make one. Otherwise please stop just repeating what someone else told you on why it's illegal.

According to Indian court of law, no institution, nation, body or a designation can produce an affidavit in court, not even president of India can give an affidavit as president of Republic of India, he has to give produce it as an individual, in this case, 2 fishermen lost life in sea, cost guards caught to marines and a case was registered. An Italian citizen came as a guarantor ( he can not produce a guaranty as an ambassador) so he does not enjoy any immunity in the case. And if the bail he produced is not honored he will be held responsible as an individual, not his post. Moreover Supreme court of INDIA did not asked him or Italian gov. to be to produce a bail for marines, Mancini came of his own. So the case is simple in the court of law, he as a common citizen of Italy is accused of not honoring an affidavit and if on or before 22 march marines do not report back in court of law in INDIA. And as the case is not against the ambassador but only Mr. Mancini (Ambassador cannot produce an affidavit) Vienna convention Diplomatic immunity does not come into play.
There is a fundamental misunderstanding at work here. The Indian Supreme Court is asserting its right to claim that in its opinion the Italian Ambassador has voided his immunity and issuing an order on that basis. However, under the Geneva Convention, the Ambassador has no right or power to void his immunity, only his home country can do so. The Supreme Court may pretend, on the basis of an argument heard under the rubric of Public Interest Litigation, that it has no cognizance of a second act, by the Ambassador's home country, asserting or voiding his immunity and that being the case, it is perfectly at liberty to make any observation or order, no matter how foolish or contrary to Law- however, such observations and orders have no legal force with respect to the Ambassador.
India will not be guilty of breaching the Geneva Convention unless it takes some concrete action to prevent the Ambassador from going where he wishes. The fact that they may take such action on the basis of an illegal order by the Supreme Court is irrelevant. Any Govt. may choose to defy the Law at any time. The Ambassador has recourse to International Law, not the Indian Supreme Court, if his diplomatic immunity is violated.
Put simply, a Court can say anything it likes and order anything it likes with respect to people over whom it has no jurisdiction. Until there is physical enforcement of a judgement against a diplomat, no breach of diplomatic immunity arises.
The comic element in this is that the Supreme Court's bizarre action has prevented the Govt of India from expelling the Ambassador- which they would otherwise have been justified in doing to highlight their grievance with the Italian Govt.
To be clear, the saber rattling on the part of the Supreme Court has absolutely no practical meaning- other than signalling its displeasure- nor does the Italian Ambassador believe himself in any danger of detention.
The U.S. Supreme Court is welcome to say that Vladimir Putin is a dolphin who has escaped from the Miami Sea world and showed be returned there forthwith but no diplomatic issue arises until the U.S. Govt. tries to enforce that Judgement because it is a matter of fact, not judicial opinion, that Vladimir Putin is subject to Russian jurisdiction even though his shaved and glistening body does look remarkably like a dolphin.
I've entitled this piece Affliction because that word means, a condition of suffering or distress.

The Harlequin Duck, Histrionicus histrionicus, is a small sea duck. In North America it is also known as Lords and ladies. Other names include painted duck, totem pole duck, rock duck, glacier duck, mountain duck, white-eyed diver, squeaker and blue streak.
Adult males are slate blue with chestnut sides and white markings including a white crescent at the base of the bill. Adult females are less colourful, with brownish-grey plumage and a white patch on the head around the eye. Both adults have a white ear patch. Their breeding habitat is cold fast moving streams in north-western and north-eastern North America, Greenland, Iceland and western Russia. The nest is usually located in a well-concealed location on the ground near a stream. They are usually found near pounding surf and white water.
They are short distance migrants and most winter near rocky shorelines on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. They are very rare vagrants to western Europe.
The above are female Harlequin Ducks.

This panorama is entitled “Occoquan,” named after the town in which it was photographed in. When printed at its native size, the panorama should measure approximately 10” tall by 140” (~11.6 feet) wide.
Hello everyone and welcome to my first photography project of the year! After roughly three years of searching, thinking, photographing, developing, and all that, I figured out what my main theme will be for the rest of my photography career in High School: Panoramas. From the simplistic pictures of Photo I, the random creative projects of Photo II, the suicide and murder themes of early Photo III, to my main theme of old towns captured as a panoramas from late Photo III and onward. I didn’t choose to shoot old towns on panoramas just because it might seem easy; in fact, the general practice of editing a panorama is far from simple, for my first one for this project, it took approximately two weeks of nonstop editing. On average, it took me approximately 20 minutes to capture a 270 degree panorama, and it could take longer depending on how populated and crowded it was to shoot the whole thing. Not only that, since the panoramas are being edited at their native size (10 inches by infinity inches), they require beefy computers to be edited completely. Our editing PCs at school fulfil the guidelines for “beefy” at least for regular photo editing, but in reality, they aren’t the best for panorama editing at all. In the end, the process is time consuming and requires a lot of patience. For the easiness of printing and mounting, the panoramas are printed on 13” x 19” semi-gloss paper. If I were to use these panoramas in a contest, for example, then I’d print them at their full size. The first panorama is entitled “Occoquan,” named after the town in which it was photographed in. When printed at its native size, the panorama should measure approximately 10” tall by 140” (~11.6 feet) wide. The next panorama is entitled “Clifton,” like “Occoquan,” it was named after the town in which it was photographed in. When printed at its native size, the panorama should measure approximately 10” tall by 168” (~14 feet) wide, “Clifton” was photographed at a full 360 degree view, meaning it’s a complete capture of everything that happened around the camera. The final panorama is entitled “Alexandria,” also named after the town in which it was photographed in. When printed at its native size, the panorama should measure approximately 10” tall by 127” (~10.6 feet) wide, “Alexandria” was photographed at a 270 degree view, meaning its only 3/4ths of the total landscape. All of the panoramas successfully capture everything going on in the town at that moment in time like people walking, going about their day and cars driving by going were they need to. These panoramas aren’t just some photos of towns, they’re a time capsule; for example, when people take family pictures, they want the memories to be kept in a physical and authentic form; however, when you take those pictures, you miss what goes on in other parts of the scene, the style of people, the activities of people, and most importantly, the decade and era of people. These panoramas photograph a date, not just an event. They photograph how we lived during this period in time because only time, itself, can change. Eventually we won’t live life in this lifestyle anymore, time moves on and things change. That’s my goal in capturing “Occoquan,” “Alexandria,” and “Clifton.” Well that’s all I really have to say about them, I’ll see you all in my second quarter project!

These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.

The performance series, entitled The Market of Toys, was created specifically for Times Square. It is composed of four distinctive minimalistic single-element actions representative of Akademia Ruchu’s 40 years of experience working in the public realm. These austere, participatory interventions will simultaneously contrast and emphasize the vibrant character of Times Square and its multitude of visitors. The performances will be complemented by videos chronicling some of the collective’s seminal performances. These 30 second videos will play every 5 minutes on 10 CEMUSA newspaper kiosks located between 34th-48th Streets. A printed exhibition in the form of a newspaper documenting Academia Ruchu’s deep history of socially and politically driven public performances will be handed out to visitors.
Akademia Ruchu (The Academy of Movement) has been a political sounding board in Poland since its establishment in 1973 in Warsaw. Operating at the juncture of theater, performances, political actions, and anonymous interventions in the public realm which and with the involvement of spectators.

Entitled "Glorious Generations", the urban graffiti is part of eight creative projects, as part of the "I like working downtown" initiative of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal (CCMM) announced last March and supported financially by the Ministry of Economy and Innovation. For the occasion, Chantal Rouleau, Minister for Transport and Minister responsible for Greater Montréal and the Montreal region, as well as Michel Leblanc, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal, joined the leadership of the team.
Produced in partnership with creative studio LNDMRK and created by local street artist Marc Sirus, the mural, which measures 18 meters wide and 12 meters high, includes a nod to the team's original logo and 1909, the year the Club was founded, an image of the iconic facade of the Montreal Forum, a celebration of the venerable former captain Saku Koivu as well as a representation of three generations of legendary Habs goaltenders: Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy and Carey Price. Additional elements capture the energy of the sport synonymous with Montreal and the fans who support the Canadiens with a passion unmatched in the world of hockey.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weigela is a small genus of about 12 species of deciduous shrubs in the family Caprifoliaceae, growing to 1-5 m tall. All are natives of eastern Asia.
The leaves are 5-15 cm long, ovate-oblong with an acuminate tip, and with a serrated margin. The flowers are 2-4 cm long, with a five-lobed white, pink, or red (rarely yellow) corolla, produced in small corymbs of several together in early summer. The fruit is a dry capsule containing numerous small winged seeds.
Weigela species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail.
The genus is named after the German scientist Christian Ehrenfried Weigel.
The British Weigela national collection is held at Sheffield Botanical Gardens; along with the national collection of the closely related Diervilla genus.[1] The german Weigela national collection is held at Sichtungsgarten Weigela in Buckow, Maerkische Schweiz [2]
Several of the species are very popular ornamental shrubs in gardens, although species have been mostly superseded by hybrids (crosses between W. florida and other Asiatic species).
Armory Center for the Arts is pleased to present an exhibition entitled Please Please Please, which features photography and text by Milwaukee-based artist Nicholas Grider. Please Please Please, organized by Armory curator Irene Tsatsos, will be on display from February 12 – May 13, 2012 in the Armory’s Mezzanine West gallery. A public opening reception will take place on Saturday, February 11 from 7-9pm in conjunction with Armory’s opening of simultaneous solo exhibitions by Richard Jackson, Dawn Kasper, and Jocelyn Foye. The exhibitions by Grider, Kasper, and Foye coincide with the Armory’s lead exhibition, Richard Jackson’sAccidents in Abstract Painting, the Armory, creating an opportunity for visitors to reflect on the shared conceptual and/or formal considerations between and among the works.
Please Please Please will include selections from several bodies of work, including How to Do Things with Men, Rorschach Butterflies, and several recently written sonnets. How to Do Things with Men, Grider’s longest-running project, consists of a series of portraits of men in suits in their domestic environments to explore the tension between pose, wardrobe, and setting. Rorschach Butterflies features colored pencil drawings, made from butterfly stencils, that were digitally manipulated to form “inkblots” as part of a larger body of work dealing with the subjectivity of medical evaluation. Images from the two bodies of work will be interspersed throughout the gallery, along with a selection of sonnets that address themes of desire and loss.

A kinetic sculpture entitled Heureka by Jean Tinguely en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Tinguely on the shore of Lake Zurich.
The sculpture is as much an auditory event as it is visual, with all the rusted whirrings of the gears, belts, wheels, and pulleys.
I found a video (alas, no sound) on YouTube, which conveys some of the effect. Watch the video all the way to the end, the last few seconds convey the scale of the machine.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8plV5trScw
It was interesting trying to photograph the sculpture, because there is so much going on. I decided to take a few shots of the gears I like the most. I found it impossible to take a picture of the entire machine that captured enough of the details that made it interesting.
Just now I browsed around Flickr to see if I could find a macro view of the sculpture I liked, and I like this one. flickr.com/photos/bskl/74556729/

This mural, entitled' "Cooperation", was painted in 1936 by Emil Bisttram under the TRAP (Treasury Relief Art Project) for the Roswell, NM United States Courthouse. When that building was destroyed, the mural was moved to the US CH-PO in ABQ where it was displayed on the 6th floor. It has since been restored and moved to the 1st floor entry way outside of the security part of the building. The judge is very proud of the mural and happy to let folks see and photograph it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phlox (pronounced /flɒks/ or "flocks"; from the Latin for a flame-colored flower, which is from the Greek φλόξ, meaning 'flame'; plural "phlox" or "phloxes") is a genus of 67 species of annual or perennial flowering plants. Some species flower in early spring while others flower in summer into fall. Most species are native to temperate North America but a few species are also from northeastern Asia. They are found growing in diverse habitats from alpine locations to open woodlands and prairies.
Phlox flowers range in color from pale blue to bright red to white. Some species such as Phlox glaberrima (Smooth Phlox) grow to 1.5 m tall, while others, such as Phlox stolonifera (Creeping Phlox), form low mats only a few centimetres in height.
The foliage of Phlox is sometimes eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Dot Moth, Gazoryctra wielgusi, Hummingbird Hawk-moth and Schinia indiana (which feeds exclusively on P. pilosa). Phlox species are also a popular food source for groundhogs, rabbits and deer. The flowers, when fertilized, typically produce one relatively large seed.
Several species of phlox are commonly cultivated in gardens. Most cultivated phlox, with the notable exception of Drummond phlox, are perennial. Phlox cultivars are available in shades of white, purple, blue, pink, and yellow. Most are best grown in well-drained soil, exposed to partial shade to partial sun. Phlox are valued in the garden for their ability to attract butterflies.
This card shows an officer of a Hannoverian unit, entitled to wear the Gibraltar cuff title. The first one I've seen on a Vereinfachte Feldrock. Also note the markmans lanyard and the decorations.
Does anyone recognize the medal on his chest?
Only 3 units were allowed to wear the cuff title:
- Füsilier-Regt. Feldmarshchall Prinz Albrecht von Preußen (1.Hannoversches) Nr.73.
- Hannoversches Jäger-Batl.Nr.10 (Goslar)
- Infanterie Regt. Von Voigts - Rhetz (3. Hannoversches) Nr.79
These units have a very rich history, dating back to before the unification of the German Empire, even to Napoleonic times. A nice detail is that they had certain priviliges which were linked to their old campaigns, one being a cuff tittle and the other a bandeau on the Wappen of their leather spiked helmets or Tschakoes. The Gibraltar cuff title can be seen here.
Cuffs titles were used a lot in WWII, but in WWI, 3 Hannoverian units were the only ones who had them. They said "Gibraltar". This refers to the fighting which took place in Spain and specifically on the peninsula of Gibraltar. King III of England was also the Duke of Hannover and he recruited soldiers from the region. One unit was the predecessor of the 73th IR. They arrived in Gibraltar in 1775 and in 1776 Spain declared the war to England. The first treaty of Versialles only lifted the Siege in 1783 and during 3 of this years, fighting on Gibraltar was intense. To honor the survivors of the siege, the three Battalions were authorized to wear a blue cloth cuff-title embroidered GIBRALTAR on the lower right sleeve of their Waffenrock.
"Gibraltar is your sign, and it is true that you stood like a rock in the raging seas"
After the war of 1866 with Austria and Hannover, Hannover ceased to be a Kingdom and became part of Prussia, their units were integrated in the Prussian army. In 1901, Kaiser Wilhelm II granted them to wear the Gibraltar cuff ttile.
In 1943/44 my dad, who was enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy, travelled with the Navy Show which was entitled, "Meet the Navy". Not sure he was actually in the cast, so I'll have to pull his file at Archives Canada in Ottawa. Since he was a Certified Public Accountant, he might have watched the books. The show went across Canada by train. I know that Dad was not with the production that went overseas in 1945.
Dad is second from the right in the above photo. Here's the story of the Navy Show:
From my Herbert Charles Barber Collection

"Meet the Navy" was a Royal Canadian Navy musical revue produced during World War II under the supervision of Capt Joseph P. Connolly, director of Special Services for the RCN. Rehearsals began in June 1943 at Hart House in Toronto. The production staff and company were recognized officially, though somewhat after the fact, by a Government of Canada Treasury Board order-in-council, 13 Aug 1943, as 'an Establishment to be known as "The Navy Show" for the... Entertainment of Naval, Army and Air Force personnel on Active Service; Promotion of recruiting; [and] Maintenance of public morale and goodwill'.
The show itself, called "Meet the Navy" and directed by Louis Silver (a Hollywood producer) and Larry Ceballos (a Broadway choreographer), was premiered for servicemen 2 September at Toronto's Victoria Theatre and opened to the public 4 September. It opened in Ottawa 15 September at the Capitol Theatre (Ottawa). During a year-long national tour, which covered some 10,000 miles by train, Meet the Navy entertained about a half-million Canadians. It travelled in 1944 to Britain, opening 23 October in Glasgow and touring England (11 cities in the provinces), Ireland, and Wales and playing at the Hippodrome in London (1 Feb-7 Apr 1945, including a command performance 28 February). Performances followed in Paris' Théâtre Marigny, the Brussels Music Hall, and Amsterdam's Carré Theatre. Meet the Navy closed 12 September in Oldenburg in occupied Germany. In 1945 the National Film Board produced the film Meet the Navy on Tour. Though plans for a Broadway run fell through, the show itself was filmed in November in Britain.
Meet the Navy included skits, dance routines, and several songs: 'In Your Little Chapeau,' 'Rockettes and the Wrens,' 'Brothers-in-Arms,' 'Meet the Navy,' and 'Beauty on Duty,' all by R.W. Harwood (words) and P.E. Quinn (music); 'The Boys in the Bellbottom Trousers' by Quinn; 'Shore Leave' by Noel Langley and Henry Sherman (words) and Quinn; and the showstopper (sung by John Pratt) 'You'll Get Used to It', with words by Pratt to music by Freddy Grant. Eric Wild (who conducted the pit orchestra) and Robert Russell Bennett arranged the music.
Leading roles were taken by Pratt, Robert Goodier, Cameron Grant, and Lionel Merton. Other featured performers included Dixie Dean, Ivan Romanoff (who conducted a balalaika orchestra and a chorus in 'Scena Russki'), Carl Tapscott (who did choral arrangements), the bass Oscar Natzke, and the dance team Alan and Blanche Lund. Members of the 25-piece orchestra included the violinists Victor Feldbrill, Bill Richards, and Joseph Sera, the trombonist Ted Elfstrom, and the saxophonist-clarinetist Howard 'Cokie' Campbell.
After the London debut of Meet the Navy, Beverley Baxter wrote in the London Evening Standard: 'Why is this piece so exhilarating, so completely satisfying and, since the first class always touches the emotions, why was it so stirring? Perhaps the answer is that quite outside the professional slickness and the terrific pace of the whole thing, we were seeing the story of Canada unconsciously unfolding itself to our eyes'.
In 1980, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Canadian navy, the Nova Scotia government revived Meet the Navy with several members of the original cast.

Entitled "Love in the Rain," the new steel sculpture features four couples embracing under their umbrellas.
The public art piece was unveiled in Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver.
It's designed to be covered by love locks — padlocks couples attach to permanent structures as a symbolic gesture of their unbreakable love. The artist, Bruce Voyce, invited the public to come to the park to attach their own love locks.

View of Panel 6, entitled "Trade Secret Management", of the WIPO Symposium on Trade Secrets and Innovation.
Taking place at the WIPO headquarters in Geneva and virtually from May 23-24, 2022, the Symposium explored the role of trade secrets and innovation from policy, legal and business perspectives.
It also took a closer look at how patent systems, trade secret systems and others are intertwined in knowledge creation and dissemination in the wider context of the intellectual property (IP) system. Discussions on topical issues addressed how digital information is increasingly driving the international innovation ecosystem – and the role of trade secrets in the development and dissemination of medical technologies.

These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.
