There are times still, in a distant retrospect which plays in a backward looping circle of endless memorial transitions between who I was and who I am dreaming to become.I faintly remember watching them laugh when I painted my first masterpiece. ‘It is too blue, as if someone whitewashed it with hurt’‘It is disfigured andContinue reading “masterpiece”

stretched canvas
A lot rough around the edges, I know that I am too damaged to be loved. But aren’t all of us? If only love was easy, we’d never fix the damage caused.
