Nature has always worked mysteriously and wondrously — in a structured yet organic manner. The imaginative painted picture of nature in our heads is presumed, but the spark when experiencing nature bodily will always be ethereal.
This is an introspection — an open dialogue to ruminate.
Google Earth is ingenious. A simple touch brings you onto a foreign path within seconds. Also, not forgetting a community where hundreds of thousands share photographs of their travels with the world. Through the lenses of these people, their point of view and experience, stopped in motion the moment after clicking the shutter.
For every location that I visited, I penned them and blocked in the colours selectively. It has then become a part of my experience. I felt them all, and I hope it bridges to you.

Come Full Circle
9 x 12 inch
If only Gaia can hear me,
the winds can embrace me,
and the clouds can shelter me.
A cycle it goes,
at an uncatchable pace.
Come full circle,
the seed will then begin to flourish.

Influences Of The Sun
9 x 12 inch
Growth, comes from the light,
and the darkness beneath.
Light, as paradoxical it may seem,
shoulders the scale driven by the intensity.
Darkness, the obscure luminosity,
bridging towards growth.

Towards Perpetuity
9 x 12 inch
In the space of eternity
At the break of dawn
Rings of gentle touches caress the pool of
Memories, held up by the twisted branches
And at its end
Everything that once held a place
Joins the flow toward perpetuity

A Conversation
297 x 420 mm
Through the arch of serenity
Lays a weary warrior.
Loosely clinging onto a string
Performing to an audience of none.
Like a war of flowers and weeds
Concocted by a person of invisibility,
And savored by an entity.

Alleviate
297 x 420 mm
Victors seize the flames.
The flickering sparks that tail the fallen.
Ashes serve as the only remnants of the past.
Disremembered and rewritten,
Throughout the lengths of our existence.
Memory turns into a fable
Till we dug into the earth,
And uncover what was buried and lost.

Arid Land Towards Shore
210 x 297 mm
It was stale,
But calming.
It was warm,
But comforting.
Stretching across vast lands
I lay my feet
And put me to rest.
17
Below The Hollow Rise
210 x 297 mm
An unknown territory.
This unfamiliar place.
Heightened my senses,
And tingled my nerves.
It was an awful unsettling feeling.
An unscratchable itch.
I trudged with precarious steps.
A part of me hopes for the worst,
To be over and done.
Putting an ending to this story,
Someone once told me that
It is okay to surrender.
To let go.
To feel what is beneath.
Slouch your body,
Arch your back,
And tumble onto the earth.
No longer I am here
Nor there.

Hill and Mirage
210 x 297 mm
Blinked once.
All were meticulously polished
With leftover residual haze.
A clear sensation is replaced with distortion,
Grasping the line with difficulty
For what it seems close gets further
To the edge of the plains.
Which was real?

Looking Up From The Abyss
210 x 297 mm
Hanging by a thread,
She said it’s okay to let go.
The abyss below may seem dark and narrow.
Light after all
Is a seed of darkness.
And soon,
All creatures will once again gather to celebrate.

Overlooking Waterfall
210 x 297 mm
Words cascading with no regards
To what you have promised.
A convenient lie for a transient life
Like a mayfly, fleeting it may seem.
Gentle strokes, rhythmic ripples.
Liberated by the precipitous drop
And with the last crash,
Everything disperses.

210 x 297 mm
I wonder if it’s okay
For me to be reminded
All the good times we once had.
Arbitrary fun,
Laughing to nonsense,
Chasing tails with no care for the world.
We grew apart
And I think I know why.
I wish I had an explanation
To finally cross this rocky path,
But I have none.

Uneven Ascent
210 x 297 mm
The pavement of stones
Uneven and raw
Cold to the touch yet
Keeps your blood warm.
A spurt of fiery red,
Anger ruminating.
For this long perilous walk
Is ever so tiring.
I stood firmly into the soil
In front of a trail of footprints.
Waiting for the wind
To erase them all away.

View From Precipice
210 x 297 mm
Who am I to judge.
Is there a rulebook?
How do we weigh
The scale between you and me.
To watch from above
On the precipice of what we have built.
Not to look down but beyond
And absorb.
35
Whispering Woodland
210 x 297 mm
Whispers caressing my ear.
Gentle strokes of glimmer.
And the stillness of silence
That came afterward is like
Hope and fear moving in tandem.
36
Yellow Field and Distant Mountain
210 x 297 mm
Wildflowers aplenty,
Drowned in Sun’s touch.
Glimmering in its own right
Like fireflies dancing in the night skies.
What matters most
Are the paths that formed
To follow without rue.
I’m Still Dancing, But Are You Alright?
Let Us All Discover Yet Again
Let Us Discover Yet Again is a collection of five pieces that capture a part of the MacRitchie Forest as a remembrance and an act of awareness of the thousands of animals living within.
