Amidst the murky waters, Lies an island of mystery, Shrouded in secrecy and hidden lives, Whispers and rumours swirl around, Of a solitary place in the pitch dark river. The island stands tall and forbidding, A monument to the unknown, Its secrets guarded by the swirling currents, And the watchful eyes of the riverside residents. … Continue reading Creepy Island – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Discussion #1 – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind
In the dimly lit gallery, Three sculptures stand in silent dialogue. Their stony faces, wrought with emotion, Discussing world politics with fervour and passion. They argue deeply, these works of art, Beyond their medium they tell stories, Of wars and conflicts, of oppression and fear, Of hope and liberation, of courage and love.
