This is my submission for Illustration Friday. The theme for this week was "adrift." I was inspired by the movie Up, which I believe represents the idea of adrift quite well. The glasses (which are similar to those worn by Carl in the movie) are supposed to be old and worn, representing old age and a lifetime of experiences; the balloon is supposed to represent old memories from the past that cannot be reached. The entire picture is a representation of being adrift through life.
