Are the moments of our lives merely a series of random coincidences or is there a plan which no matter the details teaches us what we came here to learn?
For brave girls N & M and for A who couldn't get away from the bastard.
A wonderful abstract, so much to look at and make sense of. i'll have to come back and see what wise answers you get to your question. What do you think, coincidences or master plan?
Great art there, Kali! I don't believe anything is random or a coincidence. It's all planned out by a God who loves us. However, He did set in motion a closed system with natural laws, so we see things play out according to choices we make. Or that others make for us. It isn't always pleasant.
I don't believe in fate anymore than I believe that this is all a meaningless accident. Both beliefs relieve us of accountability and responsibility, which are exactly what we need more of.
This is neat. I has just enough structure to be pleasing to the eye and just enough bang to make me smile.
okie-dokie....get pushed this week for you: try to capture an image to represent the current season (spring, I am assuming? not sure where you are in the world) and represent it with just one color. Hope this proves fun and I'm excited to see what you come up with as I already admire your work. ciao.
Fav. Fantastic abstract - captures anger and confusion for me. I don't know the answer and I'm constantly changing my mind. I guess at least asking the question is a good process to go through.
@yaorenliu I had a very small connection to the girls, being in contact with them through couchsurfing, makes these stories really hit home more when you know that they are real people and it happens just down the road.
quite clearly communicating a significant breadth and depth of emotional content that creates more dissonance in life than pure harmony. artistically a bit thrilling, and emotionally rattling. its almost a punishment, like a sentence, that we can find beautiful or not. thats what i think fate is, too---there is inherently an order to things, because we call this 'existence' at all, or 'reality'...its just our label and means of contextualizing that create our idea of meaning out of the innate constitution of things.
@kali66 a very beautiful notion. i was honestly afraid to fav it because it falls under the purview of what i consider "haunted" art...such a dense inhabitation of strong emotion, especially dissonant or strugglesome emotion, that it is difficult to fully bear and take in on whim or without the demanding seriousness of proper context.
This is neat. I has just enough structure to be pleasing to the eye and just enough bang to make me smile.
