In the Eye of Darkness


Light and darkness.

Consider the almost unalterable time in human hours that earth takes in its rotational and revolutionary, magnetic, gravitational forces essentially emanating from the sun, not to count the minutiae of the movements of all solar systems and galaxies, which separate for the living on the planet, in theory equally, light from darkness. 

There are lurking lights like man-made electric and other beams and spreads.

There are also darknesses not naturally endowed or cast, which apparently, in the human mind, far outclass the light by the vindictive malice of their machinations.

Just by chance, is the picture also a human face? See the forehead on top, eyebrows, and dark sockets for eyes, and nose engulfed in flame. Is there an unintended meaning here? The darkness behind the light.

Baar baar dekhtey huey achaanak samajh aaya what i found disturbing about that photo. It is like beheaded heads sunk in congealed blood and because blood is not something that you are good with, i was disoriented, i find the composition striking and frightening. Because it is a globe kind of curve it looks like the human world is expressing horror at its capacity to self destruct. And the sole purpose of the light seems to be to illuminate the horror rather than driving out the dark. Dont tell anyone but i see more than one face.
