I feel this needs no description. But it was part of my bike trip. Gas stations using cute dinosaurs as mascots is kinda like BBQ places using excited pigs as logos...

It's a Metaphor because:
- You can only count on yourself
- Once you've weathered the hard times, you're left as a bare, empty shell.
- The rain may have gone but the clouds never leave
- You will always be left on your own.
Life sucks when you don't want it to.
When you don't need it to
To turn dark into light, that's the most difficult thing ever!
Taken for the group Macro Mondays, this weeks theme: Metaphors
...so I've been listening to Miike Snow's "A Horse is not a Home" non stop, and subsequently this was the only metaphor I could think of.

CONCEPT / IDEATION Chose a metaphor of Urban Jungle to come up with an unique product form
This project was a small attempt to interpret Urban Landscape in a positive sense. Urbanization is a glittering representation of growth, affluence and success of mankind. This same can be said of the man behind the CEO’S desk. The glass of top quality is manufactured by a special process, which renders images of exclusivity, power and ability to stand apart. The understructure brings forth images of urban architecture in the form of structural elements symbolizing sprawling modern architecture, skyscrapers, freeways, and background chaos.
WORK TOP: MATERIAL : Special glass which imparts warm feeling at the same time renders images of exclusivity.
PROCESS:Molten glass laid in Layers, with colour frit formed rendering at each layer, to create a depth.
UNDERSTRUCTURE:MATERIAL : Aluminum and Titanium
PROCESS:Investment Casting
SURFACE FINISH:BLACK ANODIZED

I did not figure out yet what exactly that could mean. Light at the end, probably. But then this tunnel goes both ways. Nobody going back here. I am not sure which way I went myself when I took it. I think I went from this "light" to the daylight.

Mirit Ben Nun: Shortness of breath
'Shortness of breath' is not only a sign of physical weakness, it is a metaphor for a mental state of strong desire that knows no repletion; more and more, an unbearable glut, without repose. Mirit Ben Nun's type of work on the other hand requires an abundance of patience. This is a Sisyphean work (requiring hard labor) of marking lines and dots, filling every empty millimeter with brilliant blots. Therefore we are facing a paradox or a logical conflict. A patient and effortful work that stems from an urgent need to cover and fill, to adorn and coat. Her craft of layering reaches a state of a continuous ceremonial ritual.
This ritual digests every object into itself - useful or discarded -- available and ordinary or rare and exceptional -- they submit and devote to the overlay work. Mirit BN gathers scrap off the streets -- cardboard rolls of fabric, assortments of wooden boards and pieces, plates and planks -- and constructs a new link, her own syntax, which she alone is fully responsible for. The new combination -- a type of a sculptural construction -- goes through a process of patching by the act of painting.
In fact Mirit regards her three dimensional objects as a platform for painting, with a uniform continuity, even if it has obstacles, mounds and valleys. These objects beg her to paint, to lay down colors, to set in motion an intricate weave of abstract patterns that at times finds itself wandering the contours of human images and sometimes -- not. In those cases what is left is the monotonous activity of running the patterns, inch by inch, till their absolute coverage, till a short and passing instant of respite and than on again to a new onset.
Next to this assembly of garbage and it's recycling into 'painted sculptures' Mirit offers a surprising reunion between her illustrated objects and so called cheap African sculpture; popular artifacts or articles that are classified in the standard culture as 'primitive'.
This combination emphasizes the difference between her individualistic performance and the collective creation which is translated into cultural clichés. The wood carved image creates a moment of peace within the crowded bustle; an introverted image, without repetitiveness and reverberation. This meeting of strangers testifies that Mirit' work could not be labeled under the ´outsiders art´ category. She is a one woman school who is compelled to do the art work she picked out to perform. Therefore she isn't creating ´an image´ such as the carved wooden statues, but she produces breathless ´emotional jam' whose highest values are color, motion, beauty and plenitude. May it never lack, neither diluted, nor dull for even an instant

C.London52w9 - Stillness
From the C.London website: Open For Interpretation
Stillness can be physical, mental and/or emotional. This plant is a metaphor in my life. It’s continued thriving and spawning of new growth brings me a sense of peace and emotional stillness.

Circles, ties, scarred background…
A lot of my photographs evoke the metaphor for life.
You have the circle, example; I took my granddaughter to a place where I had taken my boys and my parents and grand-parents had taken me.
We are surrounded by circles, sun, moon; we LIVE on a ‘circle’
Lots of things come in cycles.
There are bonds that always remain, you cannot divorce a child, it’s ALWAYS a part of you. Same the other way round.
You have the ropes= attachment, friendships, ties with your chosen partner, it is beautifully tight.
The other rope, to me represents the freedom to remain you, free and individual.
Lighter and darker areas, scars underneath, I’m sure that will echo for most of you…
BUT, THE SUN MAKES THE METAL SHINING, THE ROPES ARE COLOURFUL.
LIFE IS GOOD.
THANX, M, (*_*)

I like that she appears to be unreachable, behind a piece of glass or something. (not that I am in need of a metaphor!!)
