I tease the superficial surface of your shallow pool of expectations, contemplating the refracted likeness that you rendered and see beyond the subjectified illusions you've created. I look past you and beyond the blackness of reflected eyes and see a place you never witnessed.
There stands a temple, weak and frail from the mishap limitations of the carnal, long overlooked by blinded eyes alight with wanton wants and unsupportive shaky-foot foundations. I brace the walls which shelter fragile mirrors of conviction and altars built to self-exalted crucifixions.
Perfect in their right yet distant from the light, souls tread past and ask if it’s alright to lend a hand. They caress the walls and leave behind unfinished quick-fix mends. Those walls, an outer shell of past and present stones, with each passing bare the brunt of new found weight, soon collapse, and rise again from fall of grace.
The falling of a cornice, a tear, a splintered shield, a spear of indignation, disrupts illusions set adrift your murky indiscretions. Allow the assumptions, judgments, and fears to settle. Reflect and try again. You just might see your own reflection and past the shortcomings of your objectified indulgence.
u know i had to double take lookin at this one, i was like Hmmm = P
I really love this picture. I would buy it! And not for the obvious reasons that everyone probably thinks. Yes, your half-naked body is attractive. That is the superficial appeal. But, why this works and is moving as art is that it is about more than the superficial. First, the title! Objectified Reflections! This begs the viewer to look closer and think about what they are consuming.
With your arms outstretched, crucifiction style, it makes one think WHY is he posed like that? What parallels are we supposed to draw between the image and Christ? Does he feel persecuted or sacrificial?
But, at the same time that the picture provokes thought and encourages a closer look, there is something distant about it. The fact that the perspective of one of your images is physically small and far away and the fact that the other image is behind this obtrusive camera makes me feel like you are watching me watching you...turning the table.
Love it.
