STONE PORTRAITS, 2012
The beginning of year 2012 has been a very hard one
I just had gotten back from Sweden
I felt like everyone was waiting for me to scream at me
Just an impression, yet very strong impression
I started to hate everything and everyone
I broke up with him
It freed a lot of space in my mind
I could feel spring coming
I decided I needed to write about everyone I knew, my closer acquaintances
My parents, brother, friends and lovers
I would tell them how I feel or felt about them, in short poems
Parallel to this, there would be their portraits, in the shape of a clay ball
Clay because it’s close to rock, rock because it’s indestructible, and heavy
Each ball portrait would have different sizes
They would all come from the same clay piece; from a square to a sphere
Each sphere would be a difference size because I’d grab a different amount of clay for each ball-portrait, depending how much this person is important or creates trouble/waves in my life.
