Description
It wasn't just a rain that fell...You never chose to be the one
but it's because you were perfect
Though now you bow your head
a wet carpet breathing steam into the cold air
waiting
and me with the knife
which I as well did not choose
but you see...I am the one as well
Life is in the blood they say
and life will pass into the earth
to slumber and be reborn
and now finally cleanse this broken dream
I wish a promise to be quick
but I have never done this before
and my hand is unsure
Close your eyes
innocent one
more than just the skies now descend
on both of us

Thank you....but it's not a manipulation. It's a technique I work on the print itself...there's no digital work.

Beautiful. I love the detail in the hair and how it comes out of the darkness. It's mystifying.
I love how the image is so "alive", it moves.

Tragedy and sorrow embrace everything now... Embrace? Crush! All the hearts are broken now, all the dreams are ashes now, why? Why must everything burn and crumble, end up in less than remains?
Abandon all hope, as Dante said, because everything is empty and sad, everything fades...
Fades...

i wonder if you are familiar with the works of Harry Thuillier sir. he was one of the few modern fellas to make platinum prints. which might interest you with your oilgraphs like. i think there is alot of similarity between you and him.

It's a shame that images of beautiful women are what gets all the attention on devart as this is a really lovely image with depth and mood that most will pass over.
Wonderful!

Hmm.
Depends on how you mean....
The deeper meaning of sacrifice often comes with just the willingness to do so....like with Abraham and Isaac. The blade often doesn't even need to fall. Out of the willingness to sacrifice the most precious thing in your life puts things in perspective. Out of the willingness comes something beautiful...
I'm rarely literal with these pieces....

I see, anyway...
Sure the meaning comes with the willingness, that's what matters. There are other ways to put things into perspective. I don't think that out of the willingness comes anything beautiful. The tale of Abraham horrifyed me since i was a kid. No person that loves his kid can do this, you would defy your god before, at least i would... easy to say by an atheist i guess
No, the most precious thing, no. A kid is not a possession, cattle usually is considered so, I guess that still also kids in some places...
I don't see anything beautiful in that idea.

Well....it's all just a metaphor that spilled out at 4AM.....
The story of Abraham at first horrified me too....until I really thought about it...
First...God knew Isaac would live and he would not allow it to happen. God had promised Abraham that his offspring would be so abundant that they would be nearly uncountable. So Abraham knew that somehow this would all work out.
Second...Abraham was called to a pretty hefty task. Father of all nations? That's a job that requires alot of faith. What greater act of faith than to go through with something unthinkable and knowing that somehow God would still let his kid live? It's that kind of faith that God needed to see.....and as we saw...it did all work out. If God is God and knows all things and wants the best for all people, then you'd trust him... that's what he looked for in Abraham. Of course that's what he's looking for in all of us I believe...
Ok...i think that's alot to dump onto one's plate in one writing...
thanks for taking all the time to share your thoughts.....always means alot to me...
