FIRST WAY TO WATCH: http://www.debate.org... or http://www.debate.org... SECOND WAY TO WATCH: FLIP UPSIDE DOWN click="document.location='/ESocialBookworm/photos/album/3722/24805/'" src="../../../photos/albums/1/4/3722/106131-3722-hmgvw-a.jpg" alt="" /> I had a sculpture for this round but unfortunately due to time restraints, I will be unable to finish it for this debate. Instead I leave this painting, Papa Bois. Papa Bois [1] or Dee Baba, is a Trinidadian folklore character. He is said to be the father of wood and protector of the forests. He has horns, hairy legs and a long beard. This surrealistic piece depicts the legend of him. The large tree symbolises his oneness with nature and a hammock [2] hangs from two branches. In the hammock is another little tree. This tree shows the protectiveness and love for nature Papa Bois had. The roots go deep down, showing how he was connected to his “roots” with nature. A face can also be seen: the hammock and branches as the lips and creases in the tree itself as eyes. A horn also hangs on the tree branch. -=0=- On the contrary, Papa Bois was also feared by woodsmen as he was the Protector of Nature. He would kill, harm or punish hunters who unfairly harmed innocent creatures and plant life forms. **FLIP THE PAINTING OVER** The red part, which is supposed to symbolize ‘soil,’ turns into eyes, forms a scary face. This is the angry-protective side of Papa Bois, which everyone fears. MEDIA: Acrylic paints & paper [1]- Papa Bois-http://t1.gstatic.com... [2]- Hammock- http://www.merriam-webster.com...
