Merci Front-Ranger !
Concerning the sculpture that I have seen lately, I must note to you that it is graphic !
For the base, the artist who created this sculpture, told me that she researched a very long time ( I think over two years) ladies who had freed themselves and society. That base had therefore many, many photos of the free ladies, plus some clippings of some. But the top of the sculpture in 3D, accentuates the opposite: slavery; actual time as in islamic radicals who forced many ladies to wear something that show that such females are enslaved; can you guess what ?
Remember in the Brokeback Mountain movie how at least two scenes show graphically death; the gay man who had been tortured because he had been in an homosexual relation with another gay man; and, then the other scene shows how Jack was tortured too by a gang of anti-gays since they murdered him for being a gay man ??
Some Bettermost members and others will not accept that the Brokeback Mountain movie and Annie's story show homophobia in many ways !
Likewise, many think that islamic radicals love their wives even if they enslave them ! (To me, that is NOT love !)
Also to me, by extension, Annie tells us of harder times ahead (even in the USA) since such as islamic radical horrors as well as other terroisms or tortures or murders; and, I am happy that Jeff says that some stories like this one is not cut and dry, and cuts through boundaries.
And, as well as showing anti-gay times in the Brokeback Mountain movie, I see it too as anti-female to some extent... much of it !! And now before, during and after the current USA elections as more and more anti-female is spreading, and even most females do not realized that ? - that seems so to me !
Awaiting your news,
au revoir,
hugs! Would you like me to provide possibly a pic of that sculpture ?
