Print 122 “To Touch the Sun” Many times, throughout the creation of my illustrations I have used symbolism to convey a particular thought. I have been inspired by elements such as the Disability Access symbol, Peace, Yin Yang, and many others. Here in my latest image “To Touch the Sun” I have used the sun as a symbol to represent a particular goal that the viewer can strive to reach for. I have deduced that everyone has a goal deep within their hearts. The objectives that an individual focuses on throughout his or her life may be different from person to person. It can be a young student taking courses, studying hard, and preparing for graduation, so he can fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor or a lawyer, or a civil engineer. Furthermore, the illumination of a goal radiates and shines down on a single Mother or a father intent on keeping their son, or daughter on the straight and narrow path and giving them both options to choose from so that they can grow up and become successful aspiring young men and women like they wanted them to be. Finally, It has always been my understanding that a goal that an individual can change from day to day. Nothing is written in stone. If we set our minds and our hearts on something we desire and work hard to attain it, the goal can always be reached. All of us have the ability “To Touch the Sun “.
