Artist's Comment:
The image depicts the falling apart of Iris, the decomposition of her image due to the current happenings, due to the ignorance of human rights worldwide. Our world is falling apart. Is a war and abuse-free world really only an utopia?

[b]Iris[/b], in Greek mythology, Goddess of the Rainbow, the daughter of the Titan Thaumas and Electra, daughter of the Titan Oceanus. As messenger of the god Zeus and his wife, Hera, Iris left Olympus only to convey the divine commands to humankind, by whom she was regarded as an adviser and guide. Traveling with the speed of the wind, she could go from one end of the earth to the other, and to the bottom of the sea or to the depths of the underworld. Although she was a sister of the winged monsters, the Harpies, Iris was represented as a beautiful maiden, with wings and robes of bright colors and a halo of light on her head, trailing across the sky with a rainbow in her wake.

The model is Ines Zrinski, the castle behind her is located in Dubrovnik, Croatia. This is most definetely not the best thing I've ever done and I am not trying to deny that. I have recieved very mixed oppinions however, probably due to the message bit. Now I'm interested in yours ... what do you think of this?

the multitude of scenery makes for a stunning background with this piece...
very well done!
i do however wish it was more clear... not so vague.
my opinion is that the background, if more vibrant and clear, would add more feeling to the statue then it would distract the viewer... perhaps you could some how clear up the entirety of the photo? no?
tis just my two cents 
keep up the great work!

I agree with jeb on being more clear. The wings seem to fade out into the background. I was hoping they would be bold and make a statement. They kind of do, but then fade off.
The sky is beautiful. I love the decaying also, great job there.
I hope everyone suffers because with suffering comes gratitude
