Description
Minimalist Conceptual inspired work. CONCEPT: How we often travel through life avoiding the pains of growth, instead choosing for a life "rosy and pink". In the end, we miss out on the opportunities to freely live and become healthier happier people. NOTE: Also a nod to a Pat Metheny Live album of the same name.
He
moves
never stopping
to ask for directions
And if he did,
would he listen?
Signs are ignored along the way.
He’s chosen his steps
forward or backward.
No difference
if the path is rosy and pink.
Listen to the billboard, our friend.
“Escape.
All your troubles.
Enjoy the simple Life!”
Lies
In the end,
A trail is left
behind him, discarded junk,
broken hearts,
pamphlets of travels
never taken,
moments
wasted,
travels
lost.
