beyond art

series of 3, 2020

21x29 cm

watercolor on paper


in the early morning hours I do not negotiate.
i am.
i own my aloneness. My separateness.
i allow others their own.
i do not demand.
i do not question.
i trust.

my transparency is my guide. My mentor.
it is what I face the immense Nothingness with.
it is my being.
not my doing:
(when I reconstructed illusions.
into other illusions.
i called expressions).

in the early morning hours
i am all of mankind.
stripped of History,
Culture and Narrative.

i am beyond Art,
beyond Negotiation.
I am transparent.
aware of Time moving into Nothingness.

i am there.
alive and at rest.
