We’re all not born knowing everything and what we are passionate about. Even from high school into college it’s hard to adjust to a learning environment again after a long period of time without inspiration or motivation. This first semester really taught me how integral writing is to the visual world and the voice that I can express in my own writing. This voice grows and becomes more self-aware as the weeks pass and begins to develop a sense of maturity.
“Vul·ner·a·bil·i·ty
noun
the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.
Will
Noun
noun: will; plural noun: wills
the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action.
It stands there proudly, looks up to the skies never looking down at it’s viewers while they look up at “it”. Aging with the times, not allowing erosion to destroy its structure, but instead proving further its purpose. Difficult to look past just o find a stranger or a bush behind the grid, each line leading up to the top and finding there’s something inside, a core, a mind, solid and contrasted in color and form to the rest of the structure. Still allowing the grid to lead the viewer’s eye to a broken face, a dissolved hand reaching for the free souls. It would never be lonely its twin stays in the same position, they form a welcoming site for spectators. They don’t question their purpose but what they represent to others, to those that seek assistance, to those that need a symbol, to those who are afraid of the past and must learn to move on while still remembering. It senses a woman coming closer to it, studying, watching, dissecting its purpose. She theorizes her own meaning “an astral form of what is contained in all of us, in our minds, in our hearts, it is that strength that we all hold and can never be broken”. This seems to be an accurate way to describe the mysterious, artificial beings that look down at us as visible spirits. They both must be whatever people need them to be for their sake whether it suits them or not. Their height is not meant to oppress us but as another form of us that can reach our loved ones and say our final good-byes. We try not to forget those lives, but with memory comes the negativity.
Trau·ma
noun
a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.”
