作品描述

This piece is a part of the series “The Space Between”, in which I am trying to use animal symbolism to convey basic concepts that are not seen with the naked eye. This piece represents struggle, something that we all go through in life, though every person’s struggles are different, each person’s “demons” are different. What I find interesting in this piece is that people always describe themselves as the eagle on the ground, no one ever associates with the eagle that is attacking from above. We all view struggles from our own standpoints, and rarely think of ourselves as causing others to struggle. Whether we are the attacker or the defender, there are benefits to both sides, the eagle above has the advantage of height, while the eagle below has the advantage of a firm ground under his feet. The eagle above has long and lethal talons that can rip the other eagle apart, but the eagle below has a strong, sharp beak with which he can latch onto and tear at the other eagle. Life is struggle, and though we all face attacks and hard battles, we are also all equipped with advantages and disadvantages, with strengths and weaknesses. Struggle is a fact of life, though many want to avoid or deny it, and it is one of the most unescapable aspects of nature and reality.

这件作品是“之间的空间”系列的一部分，我试图用动物的象征意义来传达肉眼看不到的基本概念。这件作品代表了奋斗，这是我们在生活中都会经历的事情，虽然每个人的奋斗不一样，每个人的“恶魔”都不一样。我在这件作品中发现有趣的是，人们总是将自己描述为地面上的鹰，没有人与从上方攻击的鹰联系在一起。我们都从自己的角度看待斗争，很少认为自己会导致他人斗争。无论我们是进攻方还是防守方​​，双方都有自己的优点，上面的老鹰有占据高地的优势，下面的老鹰有脚下稳固地的优势。上面的鹰有长而致命的爪子，可以撕开另一只鹰的肉，但下面的鹰有一个强壮而锋利的喙，可以用它咋住另一只鹰并撕开。生活就是奋斗，虽然我们都面临着攻击和艰苦的战斗，但我们也都有优点和缺点。斗争是生活中的一个事实，尽管许多人想要避免或否认它，它是自然和现实中最无法逃避的方面之一。
