This is a series of photos that I took recently in some off the wall attempt at expressing exactly what goes on in my mind. I feel so blinded, but the moment the blindfold is removed, I rgret it. I don’t actually want to see the world for what it is. Its a cold dark place with so little to offer and it’s sucking the life out of me. I try every day to be what they expect of me, but I’m falling short. I just want to breathe, but much like the rose, I’ve been deprived of certain necessities. A rose is so sweet and so cherished, but we put it in a vase and leave it until every ounce of life it had is gone. I could only dream of being as pure and beautiful as such a flower, but I can relate. It hurts to be left on a shelf and saved for another day. Or kept as a memory. I try to stand tall and keep from wilting, but I’m not sure I can. I feel like colloapsing. I feel like letting every piece of me fall to the ground at someone’s feet and begging them to pick up the pieces. But it’s difficult. I’ve never let myself lean on anyone. I want to.

Cool pics, just found this site. Everything seems so hopeless
I appreciate that.
And yeah. Maybe it does. But this is where a lot of blunt emotion comes out. I haven’t been here long, but I’ve put things on this website that I have never told a soul and these people have been nothing but supportive to one another. It’s nice, really.
Dont really talk like this to others, nice to be able to vent. How are you doing. I have had a rough go lately
I can’t complain. Some turbulent moments, but I’m hanging on. Thanks for asking. You okay?
these are amazing
i want my next tat to look like this style
I really like the last one. It kind of reminds me of a sort of Uelsmann type of surrealism in a way but darker. I’m torn whether to interpret it like you mentioned or as if by holding the petals, you’ve stolen the life from them or that you have given life back to them.
Interpret it however you feel is best. That’s the beauty of art. It’s in the eye of the beholder. I know what it meant to me. But by all means. Put your own spin on it. I appreciate the thought that you’ve put into it.
Very true. I guess I could explain my reason for the Uelsmann comparison given that he “blended” images (I’ve no idea his process actually). You haven’t really done that sort of thing but by giving certain items the color red, you have caused them to stand apart from the rest of the picture and I see it in a very surrealist way. I’m quite partial to surrealist art (Uelsmann, Magritte, etc – not so much Dali, but there are things he did that I found quite interesting too) so maybe I’m a bit biased in my perspective but again, as you said, the eye of the beholder will take from it what it means to them.
However it is interpreted, I thank you for posting some of your photography. You may see the world as cold and dark, draining all the warmth and light from you, but you also shared it with us before the world could take it away. I hope it doesn’t take it away too fast. I want you be able to share more in whatever time you have left. May you find a way to breathe and keep from wilting. I hope you do. I hope you stand out like those petals, vibrant and full of life, a stark contrast to the austere world you see yourself in. Take care.
Very cool! I’m glad you posted the whole trilogy, the symbolism is perfect
isnt it amazing??
I know it’s aweseome to be able to express yourself thru art like that. Especially when you can affect others…
Thank you so much. I’m glad you like them. I may post a few more pieces in time. It’s nice to have people backing me.
Bishoujo~ ^^ I was looking through your posts (I like ’em) — Is that a Slipknot t-shirt?
Yeah. That’s a slipknot shirt. Definitely my weakness. 🙂
Your photos are really pretty
Thanks. 🙂
