You Are Seen, Inner Portraits by Antoinette Martignoni


families

FATHER
  • Leapt onto a new pathway that has become too small for him
  • Elfen quality that mirrors our own foibles
  • Challenge: to shift self-perception in order to emerge from the crowd
MOTHER
  • Protection: the raven in her hair
  • The many branches of the tree allow each family member the choice of expression and growth
  • Challenge: to make responsibility a game, maintaining focus and balance from within

SON
  • Vaulted halls of academia, a natural for this kid who loves learning for learning’s sake
  • White space, an abundant focus of creativity
  • Challenge: Turn upside down, the large spectacles could be sound boxes or lights in a large arena
DAUGHTER
  • Her braid on right, a love of material trappings; yet hair on left shows part of her that can be wild and wonderful
  • Multiple birds in her hair, count them, a promise that her voice will be heard in role-play
  • Challenge: penetrating insight goes with shoulders broad enough to carry the task of forgiveness
