"Caged Fears" is meant to be part of the "Still Life" series. I believe that there are
universal fears that are passed on from generation to generation. I've included the
young animals in the painting as watchers. Many of these fears are legitimate but
many are unfounded and become paralyzing elements in our lives. In my painting I
chose to put symbols of these many fears in a cage to represent our efforts to free
ourselves from them. The lion and the rhinoceros represent our fear of physical
danger and the clock our fear of time passing too quickly. The little box keeps my
engagement ring safe. I included it to represent our fear of losing our possessions.
The rose ties up the theme symbolizing the cycle of life.
