The Gypsy Hero

He's young and stands in front of his doorway to his mother's makeshift shack. He is playing and fighting imaginary bad guys and wins every encounter. HIs games are violent, He is never the loser in his imaginary battles. He's the Gypsy hero for justice and for the rights of his people.

    Very impressive. In thinking of one's own childhood, you can easily identify with him, but the context of his childhood ...

    …and behind all that tough and violent kendo-fighting he's still just a little boy with a tender soul; as tender and breakable as the shockingly ethereal fairy-curtain hung up behind him by his mother and moving gently in the airstream of his wild attack! that clash makes the image for me!! greetings, sabine.
