shadows of the soul
Feeling numb in deep hidden emotion. Not being able to say a thing, being devastated and wounded, forbidden to open one’s mouth.
Stigmatised like voodoo, branded disgraceful with the nr 666 that can be found in the Bible as the number of the beast. But divided in three times 6 it gives hope for the future; it is the figure of love and it protects the ‘weak’. The last portrait shows that the feeling of dying inside will eventually lead to a new resurrection and transformation towards life in it’s most wonderful way.
As there is much more meaning to the portraits, I leave it to the viewers interpretation to give it their own voice.
There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.CG Jung

I'm not drowning with you



ICH BIN KOLN! Nightmares caught between the webs on new years eve
Hundreds of women got sexually molested by groups of men on new years eve in Cologne. The police could only watch the game. They were told by the government to shut their mouths about what happened because it was not convenient in their policy of welcoming refugees. Everybody is talking about the predators, but what about the women?… are we forgetting the women?…. And where are the men, standing up together, joining in from all religions to comfort women and make sure they will do everything possible for this not to happen again?..
From the series Culture of fear | shadows of the soul
Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person... is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.
-Martine Luther King Jr

Vrijheid
is niet hetzelfde als ongebondenheid.
Vrijheid
is het vermogen om keuzes te maken
en je aan datgene te binden
wat het beste voor je is.
