I guess it is time isn’t it?
The very thing, whatever this thing is, in its infinite explanations or meanings, this very thing, that has been the stirrer of my heart since birth, the very cause of why I am how I am today.
Yeah we are diving into love. You guessed it. Or at least attempting to. Is this even possible, really?
Love is the very force that somehow manages to hold us amidst this chaos we face in the world and in the nature of humanity. We fall and we come back up with love. We hate then we soften with love. Losing every bit of our composure and control, to surrender to its own chaos, within the chaos of Life. How come love brings us together, yet through love we end up facing all the violent parts of ourselves?
A tornado. A rose. Drinking water from the spring. Watching a sunset. Feeling sick. Timelessness. Absolute worry. There is a reason why I call this chapter 1, you didn’t really think I could write about love in one go did you?
What I want to share about this little painting is, I saw these lovers on my kitchen table as a stain back then in 2016, and I wanted to immortalise them before I would forget, with the tree of life that I saw at the back.
