The hope of Peace

Posted on June 14, 2024 by graffittigranny

The child must leave the mother to live life. The mother is both glad the child has strength to leave and sad that her child is leaving home. They no longer have words to communicate their love and appreciation for each other. However the poem by Ada Doyle express’ their love. And so the child goes to Sydney and sings for peace. The mother listens on the radio and hopes her child will be able to live in the world. Life goes on.

About graffittigranny

I am sending these sculptures out into the world to have a dialogue with those interested in some of the existential questions like what are we all doing here? and what is the meaning of our existence if any? Each sculpture has a" twin". One twin stays at home under the safety of a somewhat boring bland roof of a dolls house found in hard rubbish. The other is left out in the world somewhere with a poem to engage you in these questions of our existence and our memories. Which existence is better? Is there such a thing as a better life? The poems are sometimes in French because the Xmas fortune cookie said " The sum of human knowledge is not contained in any one language." I hope over time a dialogue might begin where the sculptures create a means for us to relate in the quiet of the blog site. What this dialogue will mean or not is yet to be revealed!
