SHOWCASE

Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 18 December 2016

“Yet in order to do almost anything, you have to act against the gravity of grief. It is heavy, it pulls you down, and you have to make a deliberate effort to overcome it. You have to decide that you won’t fall”. Wise words spoken by Israeli author David Grossman in a recent interview. So many in the world are grieving right now and we have to find ways to cope with this. To creatives, it is through art and this weeks mobile photography and art showcase is filled with brilliant images, a translation of artists emotions, is how I like to understand them. Each image has been created with the upmost care and it’s clearly obvious that each picture resonants with the author, as it should and does with the viewer. If you can, watch this showcase at least twice, once with your eyes wide open, secondly with them closed, you will still see the images formulate in your mind with the music, I often play the images in each weeks showcase to my mind before I fall asleep at night. I can match the music with each image placement, that’s one aspect, keep playing it, meet me in a transgressive fantastical frenzy, lets bring ourselves together.
