Visual Art by Jacob Mann

I dream of flying

Usually I try to avoid explaining artistic images. Image is what a viewer can make of it, different people see things differently. But this image is special to me and I want the viewer to understand exactly what it means.

You see a person in a business suite flying near a tall building like in a dream. But if you look down you see dead people on the ground (one of them looks like a firefighter),  fire trucks. No it's not a dream, it's a nightmare. And airplane is coming from the sun above the bloody clouds bringing more death. Behind this peaceful dreamlike moment is surrealistic vision of death and destruction of 9/11.
