The 'life' dress. |
It's strange that on some days, certain things will affect you more than they used to. Maybe it is because i've grown older, realised more things. Or maybe they just presented it in a different way. Or maybe, this time i just listened, properly, taking in every word. I'm not sure, but something made this years rememberance service different.
So I drew a dress. The first was just a plain dress, and then I drew this. It's slightly more intricate, like life. The skirt starts light, then gradually gets darker. You could think of it the other way too, dark then light. But either way, it represents the day and the night. Then there is the poppies. There is no need to explain the poppies. They'll do that themselves. They always do, and always will. And then, finally, there's the strip of green. A plant stem or shoot; the start of life. More won't need to be explained. It is that simple. It's life.
