In the course of my Day Job, I was informed of this Chinese artist, Luo Mingjun, who lives in Switzerland. Happy to have something to distract me from drafting *yet* another agreement, I merrily clicked on the link. And found this.
How profoundly sad it made me! It screamed of a desperate attempt to fix what has been irreversibly damaged. Or worse, oblivion amidst certain destruction. Be it a missed deadline, a broken relationship, a devastated planet, do we try to salvage it because that's the only way we know how to deal with the situation, all the while knowing that our efforts are futile? Or do we make some cursory gesture to patch it up and fool ourselves into believing that everything is alright again?
Pictures sometimes do speak a thousand words. And yet, sometimes, they just leave you speechless. Like this one : is it a photo or painting?
Answer : Oil on canvas
