Full view please

Forgive me for my "non-fluent" english.

I've drawn this for Japan. I still pray for this country*

I've drawn this quickly because I've lots of school tests unfortunately :(

Tsunami project: cfsl.net/tsunami
If this art is chosen, this will be sell in auctions (August 30, 2011, Arludik gallery, Paris) -> 100 % will be reversed to GIVE2ASIA.

Explanations on symbolic details:
+Blood on her breast symbolizes Japan
+A flower of hope is growing on her kimono
+I was inspired by Tsunami wave by the artist Hokusai, well known piece
+the golden sky behind the grey skies in the upper part of the picture, symbolizes hope.

How to give to Japan? (even without money) check out my journal entry.

*I don't forget Libya...:pray:

Very well done. The allusion to Hokusai's Great Wave is brilliant.
