Remedios Varo
In the painting,
the character is walking through life
yet connected to the eternity.
Above and below.
The i’s are all around.
Colorless. Not alive. Not real.
What has been helpful
is to watch the i’s and not fight them.
To transform them.
And realize that they are not mine per se.
Mine and not mine.
As I transform -
get present to the i’s -
They are brought into the light.
Illuminated as the character in the painting is.
The i’s go from crystallized forms
to sand melt away.
That realization that the i’s
not only not real yet also humanities i’s.
That we can illuminate.
To illuminate. To transform.
To bring from the crystallized form
into the formless by releasing them.
Releasing them from the crystallized form.
So not only to fight/try
to stay still with the i’s -
And also to elevate them.
