Sometimes artists live through their art, expressing their desires in hidden ways. Notice the dissonance between a smiling, completely innocent balloon. Next to a balloon dog, chained. The green color of the smiling balloon symbolizes to us what we “should” be. But perhaps the red color of the dog, symbolizes our forbidden desires – which are sometimes chained. “Live Thorugh Art” by Michael Waizman. Original artwork. Aluminium base, framed. 136×106​ cm
