During the last year, I visited 3 friends who lost their father... To
share their grief.
Another friend told me of her dream about her father who died years back, I was part of her dream.
Like the Black widower, who is "grinding water" .. Water the sign of life... as if she want him back & alive... the love of her heart... Perhaps washing his grave with her tears.
Mourning process can be SO PAINFUL. I didn't realize it can last SO LONG...
This is just a Lego sculpture. ..there's no human heart inside .. no real pain. This heart is built of Lego Cubes... that live another kind of life... And there's the heart of the artist made it, perhaps with his/her emotions.
May we never know sorrow in our lives.
Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Interesting commentary. The image is unusual, if only for the choice of material (legos). Somehow Legos usually seem so playful, but here they assume a more emotional complicated role.Anonymous Guest 31 Aug 2009

LUV.....We will always "Feel" sorrow....we're HUMAN. I wish we didn't have to.....But, that's the way it is and will always be....."To never know sorrow you can never know love !" I still MISS my Dad who died in 1998......I still turn to him when times are tough.......Guess I'll always be his son ! Well thought out image for such a "sensitive" issue !joost 25 Aug 2009

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL IMAGE, NIRA. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO NEVER KNOW SORROW, BUT THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO DIE YOUNG, PERHAPS. IT'S PART OF LIFE AND LIVING, IF WE HAVE A HEART; IF WE FEEL. XOXOXOKC CHANG 25 Aug 2009
