The Reflection

If you have the soundtrack of the movie Baraka, by Ron Fricke, please look at this collage, while listening to "Broken Wovs"...

Our mind makes perilious journeys in our dreams... When I dream, I sometimes think that I'm going to lose my mind... Right there, in my bed, while dreaming...
My wish to do more in terms of art and my limited possibilities, forced me to have wast, surreal dreams... Huge landscapes, impossible angles, impossible colors...

In one of my dreams, I was standing almost ashore a lake... Standing still, on the water... A huge lake... I was under a huge-as-you-can-imagine, sky... Just like the sky you see on the upper photo... Dark and deep... It was brightening up slowly... Adding more depth to itself... On the shore across, there was a HUGE tree... Although I was more than 10 miles away from the tree, it was reaching the sky... It was immense... Just behind the tree, the sky was brightening up...

Then I looked down... To the water... The colors of everything above the water, were inverted... And the water was darkening, as the sky was brightening... It was impossible, but it continued... Continued... Continued... Until I was almost hypnotized by the depth of the darkness in the water... I felt my feet, almost frozen... I looked at them, they were on the water, glowing white, while it's reflection, with the rest of my body's, on the water, was gone...

I... was... nothing...

So... I... let myself fall onto the water...

But instead of hitting onto water,

I dove into the deep darkness...

Feeling myself glowing...

For nothing...
