symbols




images have the power to elicit some fantastic lines....

this is "nkyinkyim", the african symbol of dynamism, initiative, versatality, toughness, adaptability, devotion to service, and resolutions.

unlike eastern symbols,african symbols are not complex. no intricate weaving. no sweeping curves. these are mostly straight lines and circles in combination. their beauty is in the simplicity and rawness of their earthy, profound symbols.


symbols are so important to us. Every image, every word affects us not only being what it is, but also by how we, in the light of our perceptions, view it.

..written on a altered lingerie model:
there is a joy in unexpectedness that cannot be achieved by colour coded lingerie, bags to match, and a grim, camera-ready set of lips.

afterthought: although, i do think there is a huge joy in the matching bag and sexy lingerie, too :)
