Beyond the rainbow...

by Camilla d'Errico

Her eyes are hidden because the true emotion is expressed through her hands and body language, it is a feeling of sadness, grace, and shock. The rainbow represents the girl’s soul, it is literally spilling out of her because where her heart was is an emptiness, there is nothing to keep her together anymore. I’m sure we’ve all felt at one point in our lives as if our hearts have been torn away, and the pain of its loss is unbearable. I was able to capture this feeling by showing the fragility of the girl through the literal spilling out of her soul and gentleness." - Camilla D'Errico

 

Every spring the bush brings forth new life.... a baby nyala seconds after birth!

"I am the voice of the voiceless,
Through me the dumb shall speak,
Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear
The wrongs of the wordless weak

From street, from cage, from kennel,
From stable and zoo, the wail
Of my tortured kin proclaims the sin
Of the mighty against the frail.

Oh, shame on the mothers of mortals
Who have not stooped to teach
Of the sorrow that lies in dear, dumb eyes,
The sorrow that has no speech.

And I am my brother's keeper,
And I shall fight his fight;
And speak the word for beast and bird
Till the world shall set things right.

- Ella Wheeler Wilcox, 1850-1919
