Description She has no longer the power to judge, the power to punish.
Brutally she was stolen the most important for her.
Now, she is alone, ignored and left in the middle of nothing... Powerless...

As you can guess, this depicts how the world is today. Justice has no more power. Money and corruption has completely eclipsed her, and now nothing is up to her.

Some symbolism:
- Her hands, carrying the balance and sword, have been brutally ripped off. This depicts how money got their powers through the strength.
- She is crying, as she has to witness how corruption is destroying mankind.
- The forest depicts the nothing. Contrary to the usual places where these statues are found (most often judges), she is standing in a lonely place in the middle of a forest, where just a few people walks by.
- The moss and plants growing on her depict both how much time this has been the situation and the abandonment itself.

So, this is my first submission in almost a year! Anyways, hope you like it

Nothing great, but I'm quite proud of it (besides I wanted to do this for some time now). Hope in the future no more of my images have less quality than this.

As usual, comments and critics are welcome

Truly visionary and extremely well thought out. I totally agree with this concept it matches reality and does justice to what is lost to us. Always enjoy your deep theorizing.

Thanks a lot. Yup, unfortunately I'm afraid this is not some kind of catastrophic fantasy art I still wonder how could we have come to this...

Amazing! At first I thought this was the sculpture that you mentioned to me awhile back, I was surprised that it is a painting! I really like the symbolism you put into this! Well done, well done!

Does this mean you are back here? Or are you still busy with your other projects? I miss you!

Wow, that's a compliment indeed! Thanks!

I'm considering taking other less time-hungry projects instead of that game. University and the game don't let me time for anything else. And art would be one of those projects, yes I wouldn't be here as much as I was before, but I would spend here more time than I've been doing lately

That has got to be a very difficult decision for you, the game has been a part of your life for so long now! Like your little pet But I can't say that I would be disappointed if you were here more...more Kencho is a good thing

The deal with the game is that I wanted to use it as an interactive painting: Expressing emotions and experiences in an artistic way, but letting the player to change what happens. It's great as the games allow the viewer/player to feel more immersed, but I think I can find different ways to tell that

Wow - that sounds like a fabulous game! No wonder you have worked for so long and hard on it! I hope that you are able to find a way to express that

I was thinking the same thing, it's been much too long! I've been good, pretty much the same old, same old. How's everything with you? Have you been gone somewhere?

Kencho In reply to kayceeus [2007-05-29 18:56:36 +0000 UTC]

Hidden behind a computer I've been really busy with the university tasks and just a few spare time for me. This means the only art I've been doing has been on my class table and some artwork for my practices there (graphical interfaces, you know)

Esto representa lo que estamos viviendo... La injusticia... gracias a la injusticia y la tiranía de un maldito y su combo, nos cerraron un canal de TV, la gente protesta pacíficamente y los atacan, hasta parece que un estudiante falleció.

Mira mi journal para que tengas una idea de lo que estamos viviendo.


De verdad, gran simbología.

Es que ya no lo aguantamos. El problema es que ese malnacido tiene secuestrados los poderes públicos, al CNE (nos metieron fraude y fraude en las elecciones), a las FAN... Pero lo que no tienen, y nosotros sí, es DIGNIDAD
