too much symbolism and some of its a bit strong, this piece is nearly finished, ive got a crit this week so i need to touch it up a bit, after hearing my peers' crits, i realized i need to remove those effing bears, theyre a bit overkill, so im in the process of sanding them out and then replacing them with glazey bears, like the ones framing the piece. it's aptly titled "ich bin ein berliner" and is 4feetsquared. yea, i know, you love the barbed wire. me too.
