READY TO COME INTO BEING

POEM:

“I LISTENED TO THE CHILD’S VOICE WITHIN MY SOUL. I FILLED THE EMPTINESS WITH AWARENESS THAT WAS IGNORED. I POURED MY BLOOD INTO THE EARTH, TO BE SEEN HOW LIFE GIVES LIFE TO THE UNBORN”.

STATEMENT:

MY NEW BODY OF WORKS REPRESENT ME AND YOU AND ALL THE SHADES AND LAYERS IN BETWEEN US. BY USING ONLY 3 COLORS TO CREATE THE WHOLE COLLECTION, I WAS ABLE TO BRING OUT THE DEEPNESS IN EACH COLOR AS WELL AS HOW MANY SHADES AND EMOTIONS IT HAS. IN MY OPINION, BLACK AND WHITE CONTAIN THE MOST LAYERS WITHIN THEM. IN TIMES, BLACK AND WHITE IS THE HEAVIEST BURDEN TO CARRY, AS THERE ARE TIMES WE GET CAUGHT UP IN THE MIDDLE SHADES, WHERE WE CAN SEE IT ALL, AND YET NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE A CHOICE TO GO PITCH BLACK OR TO SHINE THE BRIGHTEST. HAVING THIS FACT IN MY HEART, I KNEW IT WAS MISSING THE TRUTH, WHICH IS THE THE BLOOD THAT RUNS THROUGH OUR VEINS, THAT WITHOUT IT WE WOULD BE ONLY AN ENERGY, NOT HUMAN, AND SO RED HAS BECOME THE PRIMARY COLOR, AS A REMINDER.

IN THE COLLECTION YOU CAN SEE FORMS, YET THEY ARE IN A BLUR, THIS WAS MAINLY DONE TO TAKE THE ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE LINES AND TO CONCENTRATE MORE ON CREATING A FEELING, AN EMOTION, A MOMENT THAT WAS FORGOTTEN, PUSHED TO A SIDE OR FOUGHT FOR.

PAINTINGS REPRESENT STRENGTH IN ANY FORM, THEY REPRESENT THE CORE ESSENCE OF US, TO CONNECT AND TO LET OURSELVES JUST BE.
