I surrender to the godess of death, the very same one who took Ernesto's body full of bullet holes...

Unconditional Surrender by Seward Johnson based on the famous post-WWII photo by Victor Jorgensen. I saw this statue originally when it was first installed in Times Square. I wasn't able to find information on this, but I know I have photos of it from back then--perhaps 2010.

Sweet Surrender – Photo Series
Model: Racheeda2000
Location: Sweet Surrender
Set within a dreamlike coastal landscape, Sweet Surrender unfolds as a visual journey between serenity, intimacy, and quiet strength. The location blends natural elements—rock formations, flowing water, lush greenery, and open sea views—into a poetic environment that feels both secluded and timeless.
Racheeda2000 moves through the scenery with effortless elegance, her presence calm yet expressive. Whether reclining on sunlit wooden decks, resting near gentle campfires inside coastal caves, or standing poised against vast ocean horizons, she becomes an organic part of the environment rather than a subject placed within it.
Soft natural lighting, combined with carefully chosen perspectives, highlights subtle emotions: contemplation, confidence, and surrender to the moment. The contrast between open landscapes and intimate spaces creates a cinematic rhythm—wide shots emphasize freedom and scale, while close-ups draw attention to refined details, facial expressions, and posture.
Sweet Surrender is not just a location, but a mood: a quiet escape where time slows, nature embraces the subject, and beauty reveals itself through stillness and balance.
And while our bloods still young
It’s so young it runs
We won’t stop till its over
Won't stop to surrender
I feel like I have so many ideas that are trapped inside. You might say I'm "mind-bottled". If only I could get them out and polish them up, then I'd have something really special. I spent about an hour trying all different poses for this one, but in my opinion, it payed off, and sometimes, that is what it's going to require. Soon I will be able to release all my ideas.
This is entirely inspired by the amazing Rosie Hardy (all credit goes to her), everything she does inspires me, and I have her to thank for helping me evolve and challenge myself. Miss Rosie, if you ever do see this (of course I cannot thank you enough, but this is a start) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH! (and although I could go on forever, I don't want to bore anyone)

Lee's Surrender overshot blanket, ready to weave. This felt good!
I assume that this weaving pattern came from sometime around the Civil War, given the name. I can't wait to actually have it finished!

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).
