Hello everyone š¤
Every Sunday, I dedicate an entire day to coming up with ideas for my future collages. I usually create around 3-4 collages so that every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I can make a new reels for Instagram.
I look at the work of other artists, search for references, and draw inspiration from books. For example, one of my latest works was inspired by Orwell's Animal Farm. I reinterpreted it in my own way.
My current anxiety is heavily affecting my creativity, and I just canāt come up with anything. More precisely, I have plenty of ideas, but they donāt translate onto the canvas and remain just ideas. Some of them are destined to stay forever as notes on my phone.
I thought I needed to take my mind off things. Right now, I'm working on two projects simultaneously. Both will be collaborations with my talented friend who makes Japanese masks.
He generously donated some slightly defective masks to me š and in return, I'll try to give them a second life.
For instance, one of the works Iām currently working on is an icon mixed with Japanese and Orthodox religion. The mask has a broken horn, but thatās not a problemāI immediately came up with a way to apply it.
I want to point out right away that I donāt intend to offend anyone's feelings. All the characters are fictional and serve merely to convey a message and idea.
The idea is about sin and blasphemy among those who are supposed to lead others on the path of faithāclergy and believers.
In today's world, where the boundaries of what is acceptable are increasingly blurred, such peopleāhypocritical and insincereāare often encountered. When someone clad in priestly garments is involved in sinful deeds, be it corruption, abuse of power, lust, or greed, it can lead to a deep spiritual crisis for those who trust them.
Unfortunately, this is a fairly common occurrence in the modern world. The church has long since become a political tool.
I am not a believer in the conventional sense of the word, but I respect everyone's choice. I believe it's important to keep your faith in your heart and be kind and compassionate no matter what.
Can you honestly answer the question, "Are you a good person?"
