I Wanted To Become A Firefighter, But I Became An Artist Instead

ADVERTISEMENT

What should I do if I am a girl and I am forbidden to hold a fire hose in my hands? I take up art brushes and become part of the fire brigade. Only my battle with the element of fire unfolds on the canvas. And what the result will be, only I know.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

    carry grandma down 20 flights of stairs, lug 50 feet of hose up a highrise, climb 100 foot ladder with 80 pounds of gear.....not even many men can do this job, why would I want my life entrusted to someone who can't? Same with military, fighting other men rather than fighting fires.

    There is no such possibility in Russia. Men are engaged in extinguishing fires.

    That's a shame you can't be a firefighter, Galina. Makes no sense to me for women to be excluded from certain professions simply because of being female. But look what you have done with your disappointment! These paintings are wonderful. I especially love the emotion on the man's face in profile in the first photo. Nicely done!
