DESCRIPTION/NOTES
"The long walk of the creator"- Cause an effect
(To deny the ocean is to starve this cannibalistic world bit by bit.)
It is a lonely voyage into the unknown, a few thin planks against murky waters, against the albatross, against the songs of sirens. We will know times of no warmth, comfort or caress. How will you choose to see things then? Will you shut your eyes, cut them out, or just close one forever, seeing yet forsaking depth? There are choices we don’t know we have. We can look for them. We can peer around the dichotomy and create them.
When all seems lost and you feel helpless, will you wait a moment--an hour--a year--for new possibilities to come to you? Will you find trust in your mind before you choose to end it?
Will you bottle up all your feelings and pretend until you begin to manifest illness, while you scratch your head wondering “how could this happen to a person like me?” Or will you have a look around yourself and acknowledge that we are each at a different place within our own journey through the choppy ocean water?
Some of us are more stone than others, yet most of us are chipping away as we can handle it. Still, there are yet others who have resigned themselves to becoming petrified monoliths, to be excavated at a later date. What is the decision… for you?
This final painting concludes the journey of FLOW.
My experience has become my guide for the choice that
lies ahead: Loop, or deny comfort? In so, I chose to deny
comfort, for what I desire in life is to be chipping away
my own monolith, a little at a time, till I start seeing a
character that resembles the "idea" of me.
