[CopperFortunato]

The image is possibly of the Yoruba religious figure Yemaya or Yemonja, goddess or ancestral spirit of the waters. She is regarded in some Carribbean religions as the divine patroness of the Middle Passage.

@CopperFortunato That's great information. Thanks :) I'll go research that now.

fish are spiritual. vesica piscis. maybe that gives her freedom? anyway. thank you for these videos.

[matthewvaughan]

Thanks. I just looked up vesica piscis. That's my new fact for the day.

that's because blowin' in the wind is partly based from this song

Obviously the picture represents the freedom to wear fish in your hair. This is a new one for me, sounds a bit like Blowin' in the Wind in the beginning.
