While I have created jugglers in my art in the past, I find this juggler the most complex and ambiguous of the group. I use jugglers to represent our conscious “juggling” of career, relationships, money, etcetera. The blindfold has represented many things over the centuries, but I am using it in this piece to represent the unconscious. By evoking the unconscious I am asking us to be mindful of all that we take on and to be aware of the blindfold that we all, to some extent, wear. Overall this is meant to be a hopeful image that shows our mastery but asks us to be mindful of what we are juggling.
