This Pandora knows it was all a setup. The original Greek Pandora myth involved a jar not a box as the more recent versions have. She was given this jar by Zeus and told to not open it under any circumstances. Hmmm, then why was this naturally inquisitive woman given the jar? It was a setup all along. When she finally opened the jar to see what was inside all the chaos and trouble escaped into the world of man. When she looked into the jar the only thing left was hope. Yet I say there was no jar. Pandora opened up herself. She opened her heart and spoke her mind and this is what really started all the scandal! She is not sorry for what she has done. She carries peace and hope in her soul.

Watch here for the progress of this sculpture from concept to finished bronze.
