"Across the Universe" was in the works long before I ever heard about the recent movie release. It was inspired by my trip with my daughter to a Washington DC "march to end the war" protest at the Pentagon in March 17, 2007, last St. Patrick's Day.
Truly a cooperative work, my girl gladly designed the protest sign, and planned her outfit, picking up activism buttons and the MAKE LOVE NOT WAR t-shirt, even painting her own jeans for her high school "patriotic day". Then she was a stoic and excellent model for my reference photos.
The daisy in her hand is a nod to a shy young woman we met in DC. She never said a word, but passed out single yellow daisies to marchers all day. The rainbow is a symbol for St. Pat's Day, spring, peace stretching across the planet, light coming after the rain, and also for gay rights, as shown on one of the buttons on her jacket. The rainbow is reflected in the puddles at her feet, "pools of sorrow/waves of joy". No blood for oil...
DO see the movie "Across the Universe" my favorite in a long time, and it's not just because I like the Beatles!
Wishing for WORLD PEACE in 2008!

I love that movie! But I was working on this piece and series long before that came out. The Beatles do resonate today especially don't they? Thanks for your comment! Peace and love to you and across the universe! :) ~ Alice
