A balloon is hope and celebration yet also loneliness and deflation. It contains the air we breathe, pump or inflate and because of that, it is an extension of our body (once activated - a performance). They are a symbol of the highs and the lows of our lives - temporal and ephemeral. I have collected images of balloons (
here and
here) for years. I made art about them
once and very soon I will again. Meanwhile here are more from the folder on the desktop, ones that I have thought about posting for quite some time.
