Description

The reason for this image is that I didn't want to grow up when I was an adolescent. I had a very difficult adolescence. I've also added one of my poems. Square wheel Lurching in the labyrinth of life, I see dead dreams ambling with downcast eyes in huge Garden of Eden deserted by God. Something moves - beat of blood, pulse of pogrom, tumbrel of truth, square wheel panting on unpaved path. In white empty room, child sings nursery rhyme, bruised little body hugging teddy bear. Endeavours of dawn push through crevices pale as smile of disenchantment, hints of shadows crack under heavy steps of light crossing itself with rusty nails of being, festering wounds of time.

Wonderful poem and image! The gray landscape and mist, the solitary youth bemoaning the time of losing the mask of childhood innocence, teddy bear discarded (at least on some level), all create a sad, powerful, but ultimately hopeful image. When we grow up we must shed the illusions that have cradled us. Great work!
