Description
Or "The End Of Freedom" - It took me some time to realize the meaning of this artwork, a one night's creation with three !? little red riding hoods on their way in Germany today...
This collage is a metaphor of the nowadays German society. It talks about the good will and charity, present dangers of ambushes and it talks about freedom, symbolized by the birds flying up and away. Individuality has disappeared in this scenery. All protagonists are looking uniform, in accordance with the groups, they are belonging to. Uniformity has taken over this society, that has split into the good ones, the bad ones ("the bright and the dark Germany" how used to say our former president) and a third group, I would call the free spirits. They are in motion and trying to leave this land, before night comes.
"Happily ever after" is a nightmare, the wolves eyes in the dark are not only symbolising danger to death, but also permanent surveillance. This artwork is showing a totalitarian system, where the individual gets lost in the collective. And this is the end of freedom.
"Happily ever after" has been featured in the FineArtAmerica groups:

WOW, Martina. Your work is unique, interesting, thought-provoking - and excellent! This one asked me to open it - and when I read your description, I knew why. These are very difficult times for many of us. L/F
