CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE Old photographs always impress me. Sometimes, I go to a second-hand bookseller and look at the dusty photos that have been laid about in a box. Smiles and looks of people who passed away from this world long time ago... unclaimed photos that belongs to two lovers or a big family... they are always sad. I think about these people’s lifes who don’t have a place in a one’s family album any more and became forlorn memories. I write new stories for them. They continue to live in another form and story even if their voice,words and breath were depleted. “Civil Disobedience” is a work from the serie ” The Long And Short Of It” that I tell such stories. Perhaps in real life, this soldier who has never seen his loved ones again, has no dramatic end in my story. He was a romantic man and believed in peace. He refused the war, returned to the land of his birth and grew roses in his garden.

What if it was Self-defense? "I’m so sorry. It won’t happen again. I promise, this is the last time. . . We’ll fix this. No more.” Years of gas lighting, emotional and physical abuse lead to a dead end eventually. Every stitch is a jab, a nag and a slap experienced during toxic and unhealthy relationship. Every glistening bead is a sore memory that still hurts. There are good times and there are bad times, they layer upon each other. Sometimes it will bleed through. The worst experiences are the best hidden. The latest is the one, that is most likely visible. Unfortunately, the result of domestic violence is often fatal, if not intervened. Sometimes there might be a tiny wish and whisper; Death, do us apart. No artist was harmed in the process.
