Concept Page: Perceptions and light



What if.... there was no sun in this world. Would the world be enveloped in perpetual darkness? would it really be as corrupt and misguided as painted in numerous movies and texts?

Who said that man and nature could not live in harmony with each other? This photo challenges this notion of harmony between humans and the natural world with a light ray that filters through the foliage and the subtle presence of the skyscraper in the background encapsulates this moment where the ideal world of ideological balance exists, even if it is for a mere second. it only really ever takes just a second or two to realise these alluring qualities in both humanity and nature.

Concept Page: Meaning behind the title.



What if..? That question in itself is hideous, disguising itself behind the superficial pretense of hope and optimism. But is it really? Questions that start with the two simple words "what if..?" are simply empty statements which illustrate the empty fantasies about what could have been. Life in itself is a complex concept in which the infamous question of what life's purpose is, still remains a mystery. That purpose can be as simple as to continue to live OR to simply live to maybe one day leave a mark.

What if..? What if.. i no longer existed tomorrow? What if ...i was rich? What if... i never find love?

Empty hopes and dreams which are poised in such beautifully crafted ideas. The mere comfort of being able to question what could have been provides comfort to those who seek to dwell on the past and have doubts about the future.

To those who constantly ponder what if... is it really worth the mounds of regret that pile up every time that phrase is revisited? One day, when time is finally running short, the regret of having spent time on such a phrase, will be the true regret that hits you full force like a slap across the face.

Heartrendingly true.

I thought i'd share some of these really nice quotes with you guys.....

  • That woman believes fate is a string that quietly connects her heart to another. Following that invisible string, even if it vibrates a little, it is what allows people to feel and understand each other. When one person's heart suddenly gets mixed in with so many other hearts it starts to make that woman feel uneasy. So fate, please stop tugging so hard at my heart to pull me in.

  • That woman's scars make her feel like she is sinking under water. Spectators who don't know how deep that scar is simply advise heron ways to escape from it. There are too many people who are rude to other's scars. That woman's didn't want to hear such empty words. At least from this one person..... 

  •   Sometimes people who pass by each other remain afterward in the heart. It isn't until after the separation that the depth and weight of the encounter is truly understood. That woman believes that life is the repetition of that belated realization. 

  • That woman’s door did not open for a long time. Invitations began to pile on her doorstep, two, then three. A person who came close like a new breeze, a person who blocks a gale like a shelter from the wind. For the first time, that woman grows afraid of her own desire to open her door.
