Fighting Giants

This a version of my own of Don Quijote de la Mancha, a very crazy character that is fighting with giants, that is, the educational intutes, the sorrounding economical, political,social,philosophical world, and , of course, is having a lot of trouble, Cervantes used the symbol of the windmills, and I used a big hand, He is trapped, and he still thinks he is going to win, he still has his opinion well heard, and that is his mayor point of view, in fact, he will win. a very natural human behavoir!! a revolutionaire mind, a madman, it represent our freedom, our minds, our hearts. I hope you´ll find this one a nice plastic example of a stuborn point of view.
