Millstone

Mamaroneck, NY

Note: The lower disc represents a tiny millstone. Millstones do not have to represent a heavy weight or burden. They can symbolize freedom. With agriculture (that began ≈ 9600 BCE), people have been liberated from hunting. We have more time to pursue our dreams and fulfill our potential – hence the smile. Also, visualization and interpretation are subjective and limitless – hence the abstract background and colors meant to represent life, beauty, and vibrance. As I am an optimist, I seek that silver lining. Thus, there is even hope for the Babylonian women in Isaiah 47:2 – “Take millstones and grind flour.” This hope is universal – “Never give up; go on with life!”
