Bound to Earth by Wings

 

Bound to Earth by Wings • 36×36 • Acrylic on Canvas

 

Inspired by the original  movie, Wings of Desire.

The wings of an angel represents the armor that protects that angel from human suffering. 

To experience human suffering, passion, and feelings is also to experience love and life.

When an angel desires to experience human love, the armor falls to earth after him.

The wings of idealism are exchanged for the wings of love.
