All mimsy were the borogoves
I once thought that I wanted to say something with a painting. I once thought that I wanted to express something.
But then I realized that everyone will still see something of their own.
And I became a spectator for my paintings.
I see a strange, sleepy world where some creatures live their own small lives. And above them – the world, above them birth and death, above them something that they are not able to understand and see.
I don’t know if this is good or bad.
The title is a quote from “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll.
