HOPE

hope (angel) - designed by Alexander Kurth, folded by me during another skypenight with lisbeth (find her model here: www.flickr.com/photos/libaor/18211946271/in/dateposted/), videotutorial here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=POZNhWXf59c.

7.5cm of painted elephanthide.

I do not show this work only to show this great model designed by Alexander, but also to bring out a message:

Hope is in all things. Hope might get crushed (happened to me during photographing-session numerous times x) ) but it will always stand up again. If hope is lost, try hard to acquire it again... stick to your friends, talk to them - they might comfort you or give you some important aid. But never give up! if you failed in a thing, there are reasons. points where you can try to improve. If you fall down, get up again. never stay on the floor. try to get a hand that pulls you up on the feet again, as there is hope. hope for you to return to your strength and giving hope back to others.

Thus i dedicate this model to all and everyone, who is having a hard time and to whom the world might seem dark. find your green angel, find your hope and get back on your feet! :)

I tried to implement those thoughts in the photography - the angel is green, the colour of hope. the background is dark, it might seem depressing, but the angel is still standing steady and strong, a sign of hope.

I hope you like the model and if anyone is feeling down, i could do a thing to motivate you again ;)
