Beautiful fragmentation
Meaning of the Painting: In a world full of smiling faces, happy personality but broken reflections when the lights go out. We wallow in the darkness because that’s when our true self can be revealed. So At the time the world sleeps, we are there praying for services and goodies in the Lords keep. It’s a beautiful fragmentation.<br><br>
But what’s our true reflection, is it pain, sorrow, tribulations, trial and temptations? As we look deeper into the mirror, all we saw was ourselves. An imperfect piece of God’s perfect creation. So
we tend to smile alot. It contagious how a Smile can be like a graveyard, buried beneath everything that we are and what we go through. So we tend to smile again. But this time, it is to hide the pain. Notice the gesture of thy inner cheeks, closed eyes showing all this white teeth. With bitterness in our hearts, only if our expressions can speak, then the world can know we are living in a beautiful fragmentation.<br><br>
Organise, reorganise, disorganise till we can recognize what we re here for. What’s our purpose! What’s our intention! We are not here for long, as this world is not our home. It’s just an empty place where we get to fulfill all our desires and fantasies. So I fantasise about the clouds and heavens because I know for once my soul and spirit will be free as I wallow in an eternal glow. And if I am asked, are you okay? Ill have these tears precipitating, fighting back to say, it’s just a beautiful fragmentation.
With love;
People from the earth.
