'The Clash Within'
A minimalistic moment at its peak. Long shadows, textured background and patina on the surface create a story of their own. At a first thought, one cannot omit the sandy colour mix, giving off a sort of a desert feeling. Barbed wire over a desert camo paints a sorry portrait of the sadness brought by war. But, this image is not about that at all and neither is this barbed wire :)
It rather makes me think of the eternal clash of reason and feelings within a person. Sometimes, we try to put our feelings under control of our reasoning but they just won't listen, would they? At other times, we succeed but at a cost of losing our feelings. Without feelings, are we still human? Where lies the balance of feeling with a sense of control or reasoning with a feeling? Do they exist? Can you control your feelings with your reason or there is some higher force needed to help you?
Sharp thin dark lines are perpendicularly positioned against the wider, curved light ones. One can easily tell what represents what. Sharp darker lines would be the reasonable thoughts - accurate, based on logic. The curvy white thick ones are representing the feelings: good, bad, mixed, a whole bunch of all of them together. Strong low light is the key to this photograph. It creates straight shadows and shows the roughness of the surface. One must always utilize what one finds out there. :)
When I think deeper, I believe that it's much easier to deal with the reason. The reason can only be right or wrong. When a person enters a domain of feelings, anything becomes possible and everything may be painted in any nuance of any colour. Then, one has no way out but to side with the strongest feeling of them all - love, the force that I was referring to in the first paragraph. It's also the most often misused and misunderstood word. :D
Maybe a person should be able to use both reason and feelings in appropriate situations and thread the path of life without being biased by extremes. This is probably where that thin golden line of wisdom waits for each one of us.
Not an easy task, eh?
Enjoy! :)
