Bio: David Habben loves to draw and paint, walk and run, and sleep and dream. He gets to do all of these things
because he's been blessed with supportive family and friends who strengthen his faith and let him crash on their
couch.
Statement: The greatest disappointments, and as a result, the greatest joys in life, are a result
of our personal relationships. While we are born into familial connections, our individual and romantic love must be sought out individually. This quest is the meaning of our existence and "no other success can compensate"
for it. Although this is true, we are often distracted by the temptations constantly surrounding us. The praise
of the world, monetary rewards, and our own pride often prevent us from sharing our lives with others. The figures in
this piece represent some of the aspects of this struggle. The men, in battle uniforms, blindly battle toward a
shared goal. The woman carries her freedom, yet contently waits in her cage. All our distracted by masked temptations
and the binding threads of a world set to prevent success. Such is our universal struggle, to lose ourselves in
love.
