The Featured Artist of May 2008

"The Journey" is a story about a little boy who likes to dream. He has built what he believed is a flying device out of crude materials to follow these people flying up to the sky on a journey, but as he reaches the top of the mountain, his "flying machine" starts to break apart and he has come to doubt if he can really follow them. It is a story about the determination and imagination of a young mind that can be lost once the kid grows up and matures, symbolized by him reaching the top of the mountain. The flying ships represent his dreams and ambitions. The people on the lower side of the mountain represent those who do not dream, those grounded to reality and practicality, those satisfied with what they have and do not wish for more. The physical journey is just a metaphor. The real one is taking place in the kids mind. Will he eventually jump? Will he come back to try another day? Or will he give up? There is no end to the story. It's not my job to finish it for you. You, the viewer, fill that gap based on your own beliefs and principles.
