Times not remembered and yet forevermore always there, lingering on the fringes of our childhood memories, to tease the mind with what was,and what was not.
Gorgeous composition; also I remember this face in first plan, I drew with pencil in a lesson of drawing in 1978 and happily I have kept in my archives.
Who is that beautiful child with those wide eyes expressing her curiosity, sense of wonder and amazement of the world around her. She is absolutely precious with those wide blue eyes and refined features. There is a woman in the background that creates a sense of time passing by in this layered composition. Since the lovely child is in the first grade, is the older lady her grandmother? She has aged and I think is about 70 and looks great for her age. The mom probably looks like this adorable girl? Do you have a picture of her?
Just kidding!! Great collage of you as a child and now as a beautiful
mommy as your anonymous guest (your daughter) has commented. Great narrative from a poetic soul!!
Lovely work....Its amazing how events can be interpreted differently by friends and family members. Even our own minds present reality in perhaps a biased manner. I pray to see truth... and live it.
Hello Joanna! How's things? I like this very much. The concept of child and adult, past and present. An atmospheric presentation and clever manipulation of the photos. Love it!
