Lost and Torn

Published:

Description

Hope is beauty,
Personified,
At her feet, the world,
Hypnotized.

A million flashes,
A million smiles,
And on the catwalk,
She flats in style

But in this heart of darkness
Our hope lies lost and torn;
All flame like love is fleeting
When there's no hope anymore

Pain and glory,
Hand in hand,
A sacrifice,
The highest price;

--Apocalyptica

Oringinally for an English project to do with the book "The Stone Carvers" by Jane Urqhart (sp?). The book inspired me so much to actually do something with digital art as my final project for the novel. Its a beautiful book about love and loss, abondonment, wanderlust and being left behind. You can't find another book with so many emotions rolled into one. It made me teary on a few occasions. It constantly brought back memories from the time I moved out west up until now. The idea for this came out of how the main female character acted. Her life is simply summed up in one quote from the book:
And she staying put, trapped in her constant place, the veiw from the window never changing except on those occasions when it framed a picture of someone walking away from her. (pg 251)
Trapped inside of her own life, not even her carving giving her the peace of mind that those she loved gave her. Looking back over what one day I will most likely find as one of my defining moments in life, I find myself trapped the same way she did. Nothing ever changing unless by some chance I see the people I love leave me behind or hurting.

The song by Apocalyptica also seemed to fit. Its "Hope Vol. II"

Edit: Plucked up enough courage to submit it for the Inspirations contest. :D /Edit

Digital art made in PSP 7 aprox. 6 hours (with breaks ^^;)
