Observation
They dominated us for generations, but now we are free. Their king is dead, my clandestine plans were executed with precision. His heart is my trophy, let me wring every drop from this life. The dead are fertilizer, feeding my flesh and my dreams. Giving them roots and thick stalks, pointing towards the sun. Creation and Destruction are lovers, dancing on every plane of reality. We all have a role to play, and everyone is perfectly flawed. Under this canopy I show my true face, but shield my heart.
Replies by this mask
- Yes, these masks reflect our experiences. Every notch and color helped shape who we are today. Adversity has formed my mask, but I wouldn't change a thing. "Quiet Wisdom" is something that can only be earned.
- Everything is temporary, but the world is constantly shifting. When the stars align you may be granted a second chance. Do not take this lightly. Seize this opportunity as it will surely be your last.
- This piece has so much depth, every corner is a masterpiece. Sam is pulling the strings, forcing us to sit with his magnum opus and truly see, think and feel. Yes, we are part of the game.
Revision
This was the story that ran through my head while sitting with Sam's image - rising and falling empires through cycles of time.
