"The completely nude* figure of a young man with outstretched arms and open hands, with tilted head, closed eyes and parted lips murmuring a prayer, with breast forward in the act of offering himself, is my interpretation of that sublime stanza. It symbolizes all the unknown heroes who fell during the night. The statue stands on a rustic base, a stylized rugged shape of the Philippine archipelago, lined with big and small hard rocks, each and everyone of which represents an island." --Professor Tolentino

J. Seward Johnson created the artwork of a sailor kissing a nurse based on a photo taken on the day World War II ended. The 25-foot-tall, 6,000-pound sculpture is called “Unconditional Surrender”
The concept of surrender has always eluded me. What does it really mean? Surrender in spirituality and religion means that a believer completely gives up his own will and subjects his thoughts, ideas, and deeds to the will and teachings of a divine power or deity.
The concept plays a role in several religions, such as Christianity, Islam (a word which literally means "submission"), Sikhism, and Hinduism, as well as some mystic and esoteric traditions.
"The term is also used in a similar manner, in some schools and approaches to psychology, in which sense it is an antonym of hostility, signifying something akin to acceptance of ones own nature and that of the world." (Wikidpedia)
This was the begining of my fascination with Mandalas and using them as therapeutic aids for relaxation and meditation. Notice the intense feeling of movement/restlessness...the wind blowing through the trees....new spring growth..symbolizing by the heart color chakra lime green.....and yet the focusing aspect of the circle...the calming center. I mark this piece and the symbolic 'new begining' on my road to recovery.

"Surrendered by the capitulation of Yorktown on Oct 19, 1781"
Found in front of the Wren Building on the campus of the College of William & Mary. The oldest college building in the United States.
Thomas “Tom” Horn, Jr. (1860-1903) was a scout, cowboy, soldier, range detective, and Pinkerton agent in the Old West.
Horn left school and home in Missouri to escape an abusive father. By age 17, he'd been a railroad laborer, wagon and stage coach driver and a U.S. Army Scout who played a part in the surrender of Geronimo in 1886 by negotiating the terms of surrender with the Apache Chief. In 1888, he became a ranch hand and was a world champion steer wrestler. Soon after, he was a sheriff in Colorado before working for the Pinkerton Detective Agency for four years and killing 17 men. In 1894, he was in Wyoming working as a cattle detective for local beef barons, charging $500 for each rustler shot. Horn used a buffalo gun and his trademark was to leave a rock under the dead man's head. In 1898, he joined the cavalry in support of the Spanish-American War, where he was in charge of the pack trains of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
In 1902, Horn was convicted of the murder of 14-year-old Willie Nickell near Iron Mountain, Wyoming. Willie was the son of a sheep rancher who had been involved in a range feud with a neighbor and cattle rancher. Some believe Horn had been hired to kill the father, but mistook the son for his father and killed him with two shots from long range. Friends believe Horn was set up because of the attention the ranchers were getting and was not the actual killer. After escaping from the Cheyenne, Wyoming jail, Horn was recaptured and spent his few remaining months weaving the rope that would shortly hang him.
On the day before his 43rd birthday, Horn was executed by hanging. He was one of the few people in the "Wild West" to have been hanged by a water-powered gallows, known as the "Julian" gallows. James P. Julian, a Wyoming architect, designed the device in 1892. The trap door was connected to a lever that pulled the plug out of a barrel of water. This would cause a lever with a counterweight to rise, withdrawing a support and opening the trap door.
At the time of his conviction, Horn never revealed the names of those who had hired him. While in jail, Horn wrote his autobiography, Life of Tom Horn: Government Scout and Interpreter, published the year after his execution. Several editions were published in the late 20th century.
Many considered Horn to have been wrongly executed for a murder based on a confession given when he was drunk. Apache warrior Geronimo (1829-1909) expressed his doubts about Horn's charges, saying that he "did not believe [Horn] guilty”. Horn was buried in Columbia Cemetery in Boulder, Colorado. Rancher Jim Coble paid for his coffin and a gravestone.
Horn has become a larger-than-life folk figure of Old West folklore. In 2014, American Heroes Channel's series Gunslingers featured an episode dedicated to Horn titled "Tom Horn: Grim Reaper of the Rockies".
I was craving nachos so much that it was becoming a distraction. Finally I gave in. Sometimes you just have to listen to what your body tells you. My body told me: "Give me nachos."

Graphic for Westwind Church's "Surrender" theme for Lent.
Was trying to indicate surrender with something graphic. At the same time, I was trying to steer clear of any photographic images in the artwork.
This is my first attempt at putting into pixels what I first sketched out in my notebook - would love feedback and critique.
