Finished coloring her. The Chinese character on her sash means "dragon." She has a dragon on her hair ornament as well. The imaginary creature symbolizes "perseverance" - the power to rise up through the thick clouds of hardship. Hopefully this sculpture arises, in each of us, a little dragon of our forward movement.

This is an image of high school student who has to fight the custom, tradition, and poverty in order to go to school in Afghanistan. Some girls endure even beating and poisoning just to have the privilege to learn. I would like to salute their perseverance with this piece.
A film that inspired this sculpture, "What Tomorrow Brings," will be available for streaming on the Point-Of-View Documentary site. |
