Artist Statement
The Giants physical size doesn’t matter in the David and Goliath story but rather, the greatness of the mind does, which seems to be unlimited when it comes to creativity. In order to survive (Goliath as the giant deadly threat) and to become more and more conscious (strength) the human mind always had to think out of the box and look over the fence in learning to think strategically, etc.
In “Giants” the face of the “human ant” David became gigantic, outstretching the canvas and seeming to expand (mind). David’s strategic thinking defeated Goliath. David overcame the blackness of hopelessness (vulnerability) by analyzing and focusing on a problem (strength) and achieved clearness and self-awareness (white).
