Description Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Interesting,and for the first time, I think i can actually figure out how you did it on a technical level. Visually, this is easily one of the more..haunting things I've seen in quite some time.

i could see this one being used as a movie poster if ever the right movie came along

this is executed very well. im not sure if there is a real mask over the head, or if its added digitally. and i love that aspect.

i think this goes back to the whole mask story i mentioned in an earlier comment.. *starts thinking up more ideas*

this is at this point my favorite piece of your gallery, nevertheless it's not the most representative, but bah...

i'm not sure if there's somthing about masks behind it, i rather see a fragile and innocente creature, like a alien porcelain doll
the weirest thing in this piece is the face hidden behin this 'mask'
is it an expression of 'its' humanity, or is 'it' the expression of a certain un-humanity ?

besides the 'content' of the piece, i love its aesthetical qualities

this is naturally, a

wow, this piece portrays so much emotion even though you're wearing a mask. The lighting, the pose, everything. It's beautiful.

spoco2 [2002-10-15 06:32:05 +0000 UTC]

That's certainly very eye-catching... a great effect with the mask...

However it is photo-manipulated isn't it? Am I being too picky to think that it should be in the photo-manip section?

Anyway, it certainly stands out.

It would be trite to say this is creepy, I'm sure you will get threehundred and forty-two comments saying so, so I will not say this is creepy.

The face is disturbing. *s* The expression seems like fear or worry, which makes me feel a sort of sympathy for the subject. The description is unexpected to say the least.
