Okay i'm going to be honest. This was hard choice if I like this or not. Or well yes I most certainly liked it from very beginning, especially those wolfs and how those were positioned. Its something that one could not expect to see such setting of characters. Quite, how to say. Brave act from you to try such perspective and yet it looks gorgeous, and quite realistic indeed. All but typical setting is what I meant to say actually. Likes continue.. I adore those green lines that come from wolfs and seem to begin to bloom together, those just look good. I like how that text is written below, it looks like it fits there and what is written sounds all good.
Yet at this point my brains pulled brakes and stopped liking this artwork. Its true that what I said I like but for some reason these things don't seem to fit together at first. Its like I was starting to realise that there was quite much of different things on this artwork that were quite different from styles of other things on it, and by that. When I looked at that text again.
"As a body everyone is single" - witch is most certainly true, but that other part.
"As a soul never" - I suddenly had quite hard time to get it and full message of artwork.
I did understand it somehow, I think but there was feeling that is it true? I guess I feel rather alone as myself sometimes and that's why such thoughts. Other good reason is my hate towards words "Always, never, ever and so on... forever words" Since those so often tittle of things that aren't true and are used wrong with too light reasons. So I quite much questioned in my mind that is it true that soul is never alone or rather that what you meant with such, as to me it didn't feel to be entirely true.
There are many ways to look at it, but maybe its more important to focus on first sentence. "As body" - Since I think that its what quite much opens whole thing, even to me. Yeah, I'm and I will be physically alone almost always like all the others, except Siamese twins who were grown together physically from beginning. And by that... that body is alone, it just basically means to me that I'm.. me and you are you. We are unique, we have unique place and existence on world and we cant be at exactly same place at same time. Other thing is soul that I can't see nor really well understand either. I guess its something that defines us as what we are when not counting our physical self.
Back to actual artwork and away from my philosophistic thoughts. Things I didn't like that quite much made me think of what I stated above this sentence. Color of those blooming lines is so fresh and somehow, at my screen reminds me of mint. But at same time new life, as it born at very beginning to spring, in from of very first saplings poking up from soil. This color is so different, like a change or guide of thoughts at your artwork that it quite makes thinking process to start after first impression drawing attention on it. Other things are those figures on background and those two different lenght lines on both corners. Without those this artwork would been lot more simple and easy to understand but as well thinking process would not have had such change or reason to start in such way as it is. I think that it was a little questionable to place those additions there but as well necessary as without those my whole look out to this artwork would been short. "Its nice... Ill fav it and say that its nice". So to me those actually worked really well and once again I have more reason to watch your art even more close eye and thoughtful mind.

Now it bugs me that can soul be alone, and this is probably easyer or even more difficult to explain but now. after all the thinking I will explain it simply like this.
What we are, comes from our heritage. We have a lot of things already when we draw first breath, and from that very moment, we are connected to all life around us, by seeking and leaning to it. All non living is unessential at that part of our life... and even when we would never been in contact to any kind of life we still have a lot that comes from our very blood what defines our starting point that life we meet revises. So we are never truly alone as we carry things we learned and live from life that created our physical body, that is unique and thereby physically alone.

Even when two meet, their bodies are single. We are all individuals with separate lives and unique characteristics. When two positively connect with one another, they bond in a way where their souls intertwine and create a deep sense of love and compassion over time. It's a reach out to one another that no matter where the world takes them, their souls will never be single, for they shall keep each other company even after death. Thoughts keep them from slipping away. I myself am single, but my soul is not. For I have family in this world, and in my dreams.
My interpretation of this quote is that family will always be there for me, even when I am alone and far away. Even if they move on to another world. My soul has company and it will never be left to rot, or to be forgotten. I am a single being with a bonded soul.
These are what my thoughts are about the quote, and how I related it to the actual artwork. Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and opinions and it is something that I respect. So thank you for stating what you feel about what I have made.
I truly appreciate the time you took to write that enormous comment, it really means allot to me EoN. I never really expect to defend my work, you make me think and I like that. Thanks heaps again EoN and I hope to hear from you soon!

" you make me think and I like that." Like vise, Alek. This artwork made me think a lot of things like great pieces of art do. Simple art isn't much to remember but this one... is truly something to remember and to think about even after days and weeks, since of all thinking process done upon watching it.
There was no meaning to make you defend your artwork, I'm not always good at formatting my sentences to be understandable in same way as I understand em. And this wasn't at all enormous comment when compared to some other comments I have made. that i have done purely since either artwork has been meaning really much to me, or since I have thought to give some good feedback to one that I wish to support and help to advance.
And I agree with your lines quite much. There's a lot of what you said of things from I think same way but there are as well things that I have started to doubt since of ways that we see on modern times.
