As in the Days Before the Creation
... blue and clear sky, but uninhabited by birds.
... green waters full of pebbles, but uninhabited by fish.
... green and prosperous land, but uninhabited by livestock.
This is the first impression that I hear from your accounts,Pashk! This is what remains after I leave them. Smelly saturated air, rubbish trash and tails of cigarettes laid on the ground, filthy garbage cans, rotten vegetables along pavements, van drivers’ shouting and screaming, gangs’ cursing, the whistle of a policeman at the crossroad, noise of the car collision, the obscene embarrassingadolescents’words that make bystanders turn red are not present in your accounts.
Don’t your eyes see these?
In fact ... your eye catches everything, but you prefer to picture the previous world. You prefer to see the time when the world was just preparing the four-season décor of Human Being drama. You want to remind us the time called, “Before the Creation…” a time where the man had not fallen apart; it was not rotten; he was not exiled from the Garden of Light.
Pashk, you are trying to bring to us a garden full of lights and that’s why your transparent landscapeshave no infected virus in them.
Birds, fish and livestock are part of them. They are present, wondering around quietly without disturbing the décor you are building. You and I do not see them. This is just the beginning of their future house, the one where you will welcome and multiple them. People are happy to see your landscapes that wake them up, reminding them that a world full of light is hidden inside them. They are the audience, outside these décor meditating about such a full of light world, a world that is not spoiled yet. Therefore, your landscapes are as antidote that comes straight into their soul dissolving their sadness, anxiety, weariness and brutality.
So did Mio years ago.
Pashk,Pagan, heathen! You love and see the Creator everywhere ... at a tree, a stone, an Autumn leaf, a mountain that you can hardly see, a lodge in the middle of a meadow ... you see Him everywhere, just like a great Pagan..
You see and love the Creator through his work, you want the other to see and love you through your creativity as well.
