FEAR OF FLYING



A daring acrobat perches high above the ground without a net.  He is precariously balanced, challenging the boundaries between life and death.  Meanwhile, his female companion is soaring effortlessly above the crowds with confidence and grace.  Coincidence?  I think not!

JUST DO IT



“Just Do It” is the Nike slogan, “Yes We Can” is the Obama slogan.  But what about those who can’t do it anymore or just don’t want to.  Those who are content to cheer on those who can.  In the world of heroes, spectators are required.

WARRIORS



These young women are wedding guests who slip away for a little splash of freedom.  They know they have reached a fork in the road of life, a time of decision.  Should they aim for the accepted goal – marriage and children, or should they move out into the world to explore and experiment.  Do they really have a choice?

WISE WOMAN



The wise woman is often a mentor who passes on insights, gives advice or teaches skills. She symbolizes wisdom, knowledge & experience.  She can be a grandmother, a bag lady or a healer in central Africa.  Above all she is beautiful.  “A beautiful lady is an accident of nature.  A beautiful old lady is a work of art” (Louis Nizer).

A TRICKSTER AND HIS MUSE



The classic trickster likes to joke, to mislead, to play with the minds and sensitivities of others. He provides a commentary on the story that can be silly, clever or wise.  Political correctness is not his forte.

DREAMS ARE MADE OF THIS



These are young girls who have practiced diligently and are now rewarded with their first trip to the barre.  They are filled with excitement as they reach another step on their long journey to perfection.  The ultimate goal is many years down the road but in this, as in all aspects of life, baby steps will get you there.
