Doris, love & Society

Relief woodcarving made from Birch (background) and Pine(Doris, the lady).
This carving captures the struggle of Doris with morality. She loves dearly her husband but at the same time loves in a different but equally strong way her lover, whom she is embracing. Can it be that true love is only meant for one person?
The parrot in the background represents society, ready to chatter and criticize whatever is different. A Unicorn represents the right choice that Doris will make about her future if she is strong enough to follow her hearts desire. Her lover is dressed as a joker because he feels like a fool with the situation.
