Michael Parkes - The Summit (2007) “The Summit is a personal story of evolution on the human level, She stands at the top of the summit after a long and personal struggle to achieve more wisdom and understanding. From the summit she can see her journey below and is finally able to remove the ego mask and be completely herself. The bird had taken off the animal mask and has also evolved, becoming more aware than the ordinary bird. The horse represents the dynamic force and energy that has enabled this arduous process of evolution to take place. Although the mask is no longer necessary, and wisdom and strength have been gained, the woman still maintains her softness, vulnerability, and femininity. This evolution of a woman on the human level contrasts with the earlier painting ‘Athena’ that discusses the energy of a feminine deity at work on the earth plane.” - Michael Parkes -- source link
