Puzzled Child

Digital picture, created a few years ago. From the series, "Time and Space". The girl is my sister. The detail of her face was pulled from a photograph from about 1950. Father was stationed to a Air Force base in the north west. We lived in Maryland. Mother took her three daughters to Washington D.C. We toured ALL the national monuments in one day. This photo was taken at the end of the visit to our national capital. I love Kathi's two year old, pist off expression.

I scanned the snapshot. Pulled out the face. Integrated that into the puzzle pieces. Added a lotus and the Roman numeral clock numbers.

Have a fabulous day dahlin!

Puzzled Child

Here is a digital image that I created a few years ago. From the "Time and Space" series. The little girl is my sister Kathi. I love the innocent anger in her face. My mother had taken us to see ALL the monuments in Washington, DC, one long hot August day. A photo was snapped before we headed home. This face image is from a small , old photograph. Two year old Kathi is burned out on tourist sites.

Kathi was brutally murdered before she reached 21 years of age. I do not want to write about the details. That room of my mind is barricaded.

He was a casual acquaintance. How did he become a subhuman monster? A despicable childhood? Psychosis? Was he possessed by the devil?

There are subhuman monsters in this world.

At two years old she seems to be saying, "WTF, why is this planet earth so stained with horror?" She is puzzled about the dark side of human existence.

The clock numbers remind us that time is our constant companion. Time is always ticking out. Start each day with reminding yourself that it is good to be alive.

In the background is a beautiful water lily. Water lilies are a Buddhist symbol, lily roots are in the mud but the flower is reaching for the sky. There is a lot of mud, static, glitches and occasionally downright horror to this earthly gig. So I remind myself to meet the challenges with a good attitude and focus on the positives.
