Comments on: Let Me Be Your Eyes http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/bernstein07/?p=373 The Arts in New York City / Macaulay Honors College / CUNY / Professor Roslyn Bernstein / Baruch College / Fall 2007 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:56:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Angelo http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/bernstein07/?p=373#comment-29 Angelo Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:42:08 +0000 http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/bernstein07/?p=373#comment-29 This is a beautiful piece that really conveys a powerful emotional presence. The simplicity of the design communicates so much to me in terms of your feelings toward your grandfather. I love the rustic elements of twigs and poinsettas and how these parts reflect faith and love. You know, there are so many things that can happen in our lives, good and bad. The bad seems to leave the lasting changes within us. The emotional sadness that physical disability brings to individuals spreads to those around them, as it has to you. But, this trial has strenghtened the love shared between you and your grandfather. Sometimes, the tough times are there to make us better - they strengthen us to persevere and prepares us to endure. We hate the difficulties - really. But, in the end, there is always the essence of hope in the face of despair. This is a great piece; one that I like, and one that you should be proud of.

This collage is very moving. I can relate to how you feel. My grandfather was very sick and it was so hard to see someone so important and influential with their own hardships and disabilities. I made the connection immediately, and this is definitely a great way to pay homage to him and the role he has in your life. It is hard to realize that as we grow older, everyone else does too, so that those who protected us and cared for us when we were younger now need that attention reciprocated from us. Just like you, I'd protect my grandfather and my memories and image of him forever. Beautiful physical manifestation of a touching, personal topic. Wow. This collage is very moving.
