Pen and Ink drawing by FJRall
Rendered meticulously through pen and ink, this drawing presents a surreal and haunting scene that unfolds in black and white. It is a visual exploration of a profound dream experienced by the artist, wherein they witnessed their own soul encased in a glass box, bound by chains, and carried away by a majestic white eagle. It invites viewers to contemplate the juxtaposition of fragility and strength, as the delicate glass box contrasts with the formidable presence of the white eagle, a symbol of freedom and transcendence. This juxtaposition is a reminder that our souls can be both vulnerable and resilient. The artist’s decision to use stippling as the primary technique to create this piece adds an extra layer of complexity. Not for sale.
