The Flow
October 21st, 2009 by Trevor
This was a fun piece to work on. It has a little bit more symbolism than I usually put into my work, which is what I think sets it apart from the rest.
The viewer can look at this design and see two opposing perspectives:
1. Swimming against the current. Sometimes the only way to express our true individuality is to not do what everybody else is doing. The turtle that is swimming against the current has hope in his eyes and a smile on his face, happy with the decision he has made to be different. His shell is decorated with a pattern of arrows, suggesting that he is will to push forward in order to obtain his goals, no matter what the those around him are doing.
2. Going with the flow. This turtle has decided that sometimes it’s better to not get too caught up in “plans” and “goals” but to just play things by ear. He has a tic-tac-toe grid on his belly to show that he plays his hand according to the circumstances given to him at any given moment.
