<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 9462667, member: 1476"]Well, to my eye... The scene is a dark, inhospitable and unpopulated landscape. The three figures represent the female trinity -- daughter, mother and matriarch. (The Daughter is identified by 1 dove, the Mother by 2, and the Matriarch 3. (Doves are symbolic of peace, freedom and love.) Youth is directionless and Mother looks to the moon. (The moon is symbolic of mystery, feminine energy and cyclical change.) Matriarch has assumed elements of a tree whose roots grow from the richness and depth of her soul. You can use different words to describe but... You get the idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
