What comes to
mind when you see a castle? For some it may represent power,
while for others it may represent tyranny. It can have a
romantic and mysterious elegance, while at the same time it can
evoke images of torture and bloodshed to some. Although it may
seem as an indestructible edifice, history shows that it is
rarely the case. While we recognize that our daily endeavors are
an effort to place our lives inside of a metaphorical castle of
financial stability, or a healthy family life; we should never
lose sight of the threats that surround us. While we might feel
a sense of security or contempt with our present situation, it
is imperative to maintain a vigilant attitude to protect
ourselves from any outer invasion.
In this
painting, the outer wall of the fortification has been breached
and the ever-vigilant warrior has valiantly moved forward to
protect what he has worked for so fiercely; His home, his
family, his legacy. With the same intensity we shall live our
lives and act as brave protectors to keep what we have been
blessed with. The protector is a tribute to those who fight
everyday for the well-being of their families and a reminder to
always preserve that warrior mentality that has brought us to
the higher ground we are trusted to defend.
