#i was lucky enough to see 'eternal springtime' in chicago and it stuck with me so much and i really wanted to make it work. alas...

[heymrspatel]

an ode and all my deep love and respect to some of the sculptures that inspired me, that i kept rotating around, that made it to the first, second, even third drafts, but that ultimately i did not end up using for my silly kinktober project.

the list was long, but these six kept calling back to me. the lines, the forms, the angles, the emotion, the muscle, the movement, the anger, the love. a kiss up to the sky, thanks for keeping me company!

i put so much time and research and practice into these and i just hope that came across if even just a little bit 💙
