Trapped by the image

Trapped by the image*
the perfection of it*
it stunts me*

nothing I do will ever compete with what already exists*
naturally*

this quest, this following, this religion*

my drawings' ashes are waiting for me*
they haunt me*
what to do with them*

the next step*
lose everything*
start over again*

descending*
dissenting*










* Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return

I sense the futility of creating from too much inflated ego in this, having stumbled upon that myself so maybe I'm saying I see myself, my own ideas of what I thought I was creating reflected in the dust. A question emerges: how to flow naturally, co-creating with what already exists, perfectly imperfect in my dance with the process of living a creative life

Precisely Maija, why strive for something that simply does not exist. There is such beauty in trying, failing and being surprised by what has been done or made or ruined. In the very attempting is the art, the beauty, not in the design or the starting premise of an ego as an artist.
