Slice of Life
Bluebells in Oxford, UKApril 2018 Hollyhock, Barbican, London, UKJuly 2020 I would wash myself in these pictures of plum trees and apple blossoms, sakura pink, bluebell, green, purple and smooth, all over again, until I’m drowning in petals like guests of Roman emperors, metaphorically – the idea behind art, no, the idea behind reality, without…

This is another part 2 (!) of my short story, Splitting Image. Next post will be: the last part 2 and part 3! Read the beginning here: Splitting Image – 2: Black I step in. Oh, why is this tunnel so different than it had looked from outside? So much brighter, I’m not sure if…
