Artists Who Stare

  Artists who Stare into their Creative Self Vignette There is a reckoning in the soul of every artist. It begins as a tremor, a flicker of light, almost imperceptible, yet relentless in hunger. That precise moment when the artist is alone, silhouetted against the radiance of an internal inferno and stares unflinchingly into their creative self. They dwell in the space between inspiration and doubt, bathed in the glow of possibilities and tormented by the fear of mediocrity. To exceed the ordinary, the artist knows, is both a blessing and a curse. Each touch, each word, each act of creation becomes a paradox: an offering to eternity but rooted in the fleeting frailty of the present. What if they fail? What if the light within, so achingly bright, burns them to ash rather than illuminating their path? The act of creation is no longer a choice; it has become a necessity. There is no turning back.

Systemic Delusion Modellhut

  Don't shoot the messenger. Prominent missions. Persuasion and exposure. Denial and protection. Collaboration and denial. Espionage and love. Systemic delusion and culture. As night falls fast. The burden. The understanding. Awareness of the ladder. The subliminal inceptions. The stimuli. As time is taken. The accountability of fallen leaves. Vagrant clouds across the night sky. Accountability. The insinuated and sorrowful. And the corruption from within. Submitting to be changed. By a systemic imperative. Endowed through pressure and lip service. Night Fall Dress The histories that shaped today. All the long gone festivities. The outlined visions. The political alignments.  And the imposed norms. The threat of penalization.
