Sculpture dissection

 Artist: faith


Collectivistic, centred around the idea of community, and communication. There is a wide understanding of background imaging with less focus on the individual, as scenarios are built by people, not a person.

Luxury colours.

As you venture into the trials of a relationship, you'd probably fall victim to those who would exploit your love to satiate their greed. How often do you see the commodification of love, hand in hand with the corruption of beauty? The piece can remind us that love should not be used as a means of exploitation, but rather as a source of connection.

Dowry.

This art piece explores the intersection of class and money in the context of the marriage system. Though marriages have been seeing better days in recent years (where the ideal of love seems to reign), the reality of class difference is still firmly lodged in place, gate kept by those who hold wealth. The overt tension between different social backgrounds are seen to be segregated by colour as well as a red territorial marker, connected only by the mode of transaction—money.

Birds on the Sabbath 

description

The Sabbath comes.
For six continuous weeks

The weeds have grown

Crackling its way like rogue tongues of flame, swath upon swath, choking the undergrowth. The air within the entwining bush had long turned heavy, damp and stale from the rot in the roots barely seen beneath the scraggly branches_brittle with age. Curls of raw heat crept up the ragged pile of sticks.

And then there were two Noses without sense nor scent They came to rest,

Lulled by the sinking sun.

A feathered head rose

High enough

away from the fermentation below. And then there were two

Contented by their roost Basking in the warmth

Above the rising bed of deaf.

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

 After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

7 WAYS for achieving your purpose

 CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION make use of free will.   Jesus and the blind man. Why does Jesus ask him what he wants when it is obvious he want to see? Choose area (learning, marriage, finance, friendships) of importance to you, and make 3-10 goals. What measurable  and compelling goal is possible? Set the goal, and then you have the direction. Reticular activating system: it helps you find whatever you are focusing on.  E.g. Search for blue items. Okay, how many purple items are there? you don't know. Because you only focus on what you look for. Your brain gets excited and get power the moment it knows what direction it is about to take. Decide  your exact deadline when you will achieve it. Also, ascertain what you want to sacrifice . (time/money/patience/difficult situations) The price will be  "Where there is no vision, people perish"-Solomon  CHOOSE YOUR REASONS Do you have insight to yourself? Be a person of deep water, look deeper. Introspect. What...

Conflating the liberty of freedom and burden of choice, and finding the balance in between

"...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self." -Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm, first published by Holt, Rineheart and Winston, New York, 1941. http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Escape_from_freedom.html and then comes the question many strive to answer; what do we risk to lose when we are already in an individualised state of mind? Even more, i think. The attraction of the self makes it even harder to conform, whilst the pressure for conformity never ceases—in fact the pressure exponentially increases—staring you down through that bright screen all day and for most of the night. Freedo...
