I certainly feel a sense of weight to this visual when I first noticed this pic. The earthly tone of the background helps to visually speak to me of a longing for a journey. There is a sense of weight to the wagon, a mobile vehicle of transport, now remain at a stand still. The two models posed on either end of the wagon, seems to share a sense of dependence. With eyes closed there is like a sense of trust in the one who takes up reigns to lead the wagon. 

This image reminded me of a point in my life when I did not have a sense of direction. The wagon could very well represent the inner vehicle in which we must pull our own weight with. In the past, I used to drag with me, my own baggage or burdens, but then I came to a stand still where I emptied the wagon of every content that I have never needed and just leaned on it, in a sense that only I could stop from moving forward. Like the models holding down the wagon, it's like it starts with me and ends with me. Divided perhaps by emotions or indecisions. The way that the handle is positioned outward, it's like looking in on the condition of my inner wagon.

The nude models may suggest something more natural in need. And it's at this turning point that the contents I now fill the wagon with is substance. Substance that builds character. There is nothing more natural and genuine than the substance obtained through every trials and storms endured. With substance, every content is made of things that I define myself with, and am able to take up reigns to pull this vehicle to a destination that my heart has designated.

Well that's my interpretation of it. This is a fun challenge for me. I have this gift that I can read art like a driver who can read a stop sign. XD

Studying art not only communicates the mind and soul of the artist, but I also learn much of myself in the way that I respond to it.

Even the way the front wheels is turned toward the viewer, there is a challenge of taking initiative of where to lead the band wagon. For me, this could also mean, having connections, companions that are like minded, looking to be part of a wagon that is led by a visionary who is going somewhere with a grand plan. 

Indeed a picture really does speak a thousand words. :)
