Celebrating Women

For Sunday Postcard Art's "celebrating women" theme - Aung San Suu Kyi

This started with an image of Zeno Frudakis's remarkable sculpture.

The hand in the foreground is that of U Win Tin, who posed for James Mackay with Aung San Suu Kyi's name written on his palm as a gesture of solidarity with his fellow political prisoner.  Her name appears in Burmese script at the bottom.

The symbols of her National League for Democracy party, the peacock and the star, are worked in as well.

Behind her is a combination of backgrounds by two of my favorite DeviantArt artists, the lotus by Susan Dubrofsky (Tackon) and the basket weave by Kimberly Crick (Enchantedgal).

    A beautiful assemblage and such a good choice to celebrate women. There is so much in this piece it rewards a good long examination.
