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. Like a lone figure before the furnace of their own making, the artist surrenders to the ...

Legacy of a Hero Rizal

Time and history.

It makes me question how my past experiences shape who you are today. 

I would like to know if your present selves are shaping tomorrow. 

Please reflect on whether your desires and beliefs echo my past struggles and dreams. 

We break free to create a new destiny and are then forever to become prisoners of history, 

Although the path to the future is uncertain, learning from our past can create a future free from history's shadows.

'Not all were asleep in the nighttime of our grandparents.'  Jose Rizal 1886

'The people no longer have confidence in its former protectors, now its exploiters and executioners. The masks have fallen.' Jose Rizal

Routine and Freedom

'Routine is a declivity down which many governments slide, and routine says that freedom of the press is dangerous.' Jose Rizal 1890s



reTracing the footsteps of Jose Rizal.

The greatest legacy is not wealth or power, but the footprints we leave on the path towards a brighter future.

Liminal Spaces - A Journey of Self and Mystery

  Liminal Spaces - A Journey of Self and Mystery Vignette As dusk settles in, the mountain air is thick with unspoken thoughts as I walk a familiar yet uncharted path. Two figures, their faces obscured in contemplation, walk alongside me. Their presence is a silent reminder of my journey—a mix of exhilarating peaks and despairing valleys. The twilight, caught between day and night, reflects the in-betweenness of my existence, a liminal space where past and future blur. Each step forward is an act of faith, a surrender to the unknown, a feeling I'm sure many of you can relate to. Unspoken Thoughts in the Final Hours Our Silent Reflections of Unknowns Vignette The destination? The journey itself, along with the transformation it, sparks within me. Still, like the persistent mountain shadows, a question lingers: who are these companions on my path? Their identities remain covert, their purpose a mystery—a riddle waiting to be unravelled in the memories of my becoming. Nu Jazz by JJFBb...
