“We take off into the cosmos, ready for anything: for solitude, for
hardship, for exhaustion, death. Modesty forbids us to say so, but there
are times when we think pretty well of ourselves. And yet, if we
examine it more closely, our enthusiasm turns out to be all a sham. We
don't want to conquer the cosmos, we simply want to extend the
boundaries of Earth to the frontiers of the cosmos. For us, such and
such a planet is as arid as the Sahara, another as frozen as the North
Pole, yet another as lush as the Amazon basin. We are humanitarian and
chivalrous; we don't want to enslave other races, we simply want to
bequeath them our values and take over their heritage in exchange. We
think of ourselves as the Knights of the Holy Contact. This is another
lie. We are only seeking Man. We have no need of other worlds. A single
world, our own, suffices us; but we can't accept it for what it is. We
are searching for an ideal image of our own world: we go in quest of a
planet, a civilization superior to our own but developed on the basis of
a prototype of our primeval past. At the same time, there is something
inside us which we don't like to face up to, from which we try to
protect ourselves, but which nevertheless remains, since we don't leave
Earth in a state of primal innocence. We arrive here as we are in
reality, and when the page is turned and that reality is revealed to us -
that part of our reality which we would prefer to pass over in silence -
then we don't like it anymore.”

Silencio is a meditative collection of 20th-century works for string orchestra, including works by Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass, and Vladimir Martynov.

Detalii in alb. :) Frumos fotografiat.
Happy WW!
Foarte frumoase. Si in tema. Toate cele bune.
E parca prea finuta pentru lume aceasta ...gri.
Frumoase detalii!
Nu stiu care a fost ideea de baza pentru fotografii, dar parca simbolizeaza dorinta neimplinita de a vorbi, de a se misca, de a canta...
Iar muzica e deosebita. Multumesc pentru auditie.
Happy WW, Daliana!
Mă fascinează și pe mine manechinele, încep tot mai mult să cred în arta de a le da viață. Iar acestea sunt așa de ALBE. Un răspuns foarte grațios la provocarea mea.
Happy WW!
Parca ar fi secvente dintr-un film S.F. Happy WW! :)
Texture! Shadow! Composition!
I am a bit skeptical about being "ready for anything" which may await in the cosmos, but I agree with the "cosmology" of the photographs. You give mannequins a life of their own, in a manner of speaking, Daliana -- a look of eloquence, which is the breath of life in many ways.
Iată că și manechinele pot fi... opere de artă. Cât de grațioase mâinile... și poziția capului.
Frumoase fotografii, mulțumiri!
Foarte fain. Multă sănătate
Foarte interesant joc de unghiuri si lumini, a si sa nu mai spun ca parca i-ai oferit manechinului viata :))).
Te tuc!
...suntem papusi fara sa stim ,suntem papusile unui papusar numit destin misca ,ne ridica sau coboara pe o scena nevazuta ,nestiuta careia ii spunem ...viata .
multe poate papusarul dar ramine intrebarea pe el cine il misca ..?
O idee foarte interesantă. Spectaculoase fotografii!
It's been a while since the last time I visited your blog. Love your art !!! Hope all is well with you. Best wishes, and thanks for sharing your world.
