4. Discussion: Our figure stands perched on a pedestal the same way we would see a bird perched on a rock to sing. Even with web-like feet, the viewer can't help but make this connection. The female figure resembles a young woman or girl that is trying to speak to an audience that does not truly listen and the sounds of the bird go unnoticed by most people -- becoming absent-minded noise we hear all the time. I like to think that this girl is fighting for the same cause as I am: to alter the way we see the feminine mold and to finally fly free of the metaphorical restrictions that hold her, and many others, from becoming their true selves without judgment.
