Icarus at home # 10

Blue Jumper
Madonna lily
According to the Bible, petals of white white  lily signify virginity, purity and the radiant soul of the Virgin Mary. This notion of purity has been around a long time, though. The Greeks said the white lily signified purity, borne out of the breast milk of Goddess Hera, but the Romans give this honor to their Goddess Juno.  To the Chinese, its a sign of motherhood, so the circle is squared all round really. But what does juxtaposing a white lily with a blue jumper signify? This piece of film is the perfect piece of YouTube art - made for the medium - wonderful live (I guess) but see how it transfers into being - perfect, an almost perfect piece of conceptual art which I adore - And what flower expresses days go by, and they just keep going by, endlessly pulling you into the future... days go by endlessly... endlessly pulling you into the future...
