"Bold Nobility" is a multimedia piece measuring 30" x 44"commissioned by Java Republic. It addresses the difference between vitality and vanity in contemporary European society. The water represents a vital element humans need to survive and the mirror symbolizes the vanity that can cloud our understanding of what is critical for life. The concept of the mirror allows the piece to be specific to both the farmer as well as the viewer, who can either confront him or replace him. The farmer is therefore the element that challenges the viewer to question the importance of humility and hard work in our often-materialistic society.For more information on Bonnie Lawless visit www.bonniejeannelawless.com
