Tate Modern

Is it a gun? Is it a camera?
It is amazing to have Street Art in the entrance of the Tate Modern.
We may be able to communicate a message across to people just with Art. Art is very personal, the artist expresses a collective awareness through an unique perspective.

Writing For Images

A writing composition - Creative Writing
- A place where I´ve never been and I´ve always wanted to go

In - Ink

An explosion of colour and codes of emotions from behind anothers’ skin.

Ink.

Secrets concealed before an impulse,
within a hidden heart.
Where tales become fixed into reality and reality becomes fantastical and with it
new worlds abound,
magic spirits spill out.

It is a hangman with an uncovered face,

a poet,
a writer,
a journalist

a love note
a suicide
a child’s first line

Its life is like the stage,
never knowing which character it will be forced to perform.

as each morning dawns
the lightness of day embraces its calligraphy,
makes its stream glisten brighter than shattered diamonds
for its value is greater than all the worlds wealth combined.

It transmits.

Peoples’ ideas get carved with the point of a finger.
It performs this task for them.
They smile at it, get so attached to it,
it can feel their thoughts,
it can.
It really can.
Sometimes agreeing,
Sometimes disagreeing,
It longs to make them aware,
“you are wrong, you don’t mean it like that, try again,”
and then,
they might scribble it frantically across the spoiled page for a new explosion of feelings to flow and
“Yes!”.
They are attached to it again.

Like a best friend
It is a box of benevolence to all of them.
It serves them dutifully
Sometimes feeling good.
Sometimes feeling bad
spelling out feelings it cannot understand
because

It transmits.

But yet sometimes it knows
when they are lying,
when they are loving,
when they are working,
when they are joking,
­It does,
It really does,
It is so aware,
simply because they get so attached.

With their fingertips rubbing its cloak/clothing,
It starts to sense the thinking they are trying to express and as they sweep it softly once again across the page

It receives.
