doe eyed deers

As i was looking through for images that i could use for my folio, i came across this perculiar image. In a quick instant it reminded me of mangga or atleast something from an anime movie.
It spoke of a strange mood, the white sculptured deers somehow represented the pure. However as u glimpse closely you start to take notice of it's slightly protuding ribs,sunken stomach and somehow dark emotions within the facial expression. It's a mirror and symmetry between the pair of deers that lay stumpled and scattered like a litter of leaves. Ironically that doesnt leave a sense of death as it seems to represent that.


With a little more reseach, i found out that the sculptor is Kim Simonssons, who happens to be a young finnish artist that has a kink with 3 dimensional stills from anime films. He's also based in Helsinki and has been putting up exhibitions throughout his break in 2004. Very good progress for an artist!
