Title: Peter Pan
Illustration by Donna Massa 2009
Description: This Illustration shows the compassionate side of Michael Jackson. As the character of Peter Pan, it symbolizes how Michael relates to special children in need. The character of Peter Pan is symbolic of being ageless and timeless. The character also expresses Michael’s enduring love by showing how he reaches out not only to the sick and injured but to the unfortunate and underprivileged.
In this illustration Michael is portrayed as one of his favorite characters Peter Pan holding and consoling an abused, injured and confused young boy. As in the story of Alice in Wonderland, the giant mushroom symbolizes the internal frustrations of puberty. The March Hare symbolizes frolicking wildness and adventurous curiosity as he peeks out from the sturdy stem of the mushroom. The painted Turtle’s shell, on which Michael places the heel of his loafer, symbolizes creation, strength, stability, innocence, protection, and good fortune. Tinker Bell is near the right shoulder of Michael, and with her magical wand she weaves a protective shield of healing colors that radiates into a rainbow, opening the heavens to Michael’s magical world called Neverland…
