#inktoberdrawing

Part of my "Black Black Gold" series of surreal ink drawings. Should we wait for greatness to happen? Or is it always coincidence to witness it? Can it be made by others or only by the ones delivering it? If it is expected, does it not become a burden more than a joyful event? How much does greatness depend on perception - can not anything be great, or is a crowd's approval necessary?

From my Black Black Gold series. The roots of where we came from should not dominate us so we progress forward and do no remain the same forever. Even the most basic urges are easily overcome once recognized as an obstacle. Keeping in mind where we came from recently should not make us disrespect our roots however.

From my Black Black Gold series. We live in a time of abundance, and have not realized that with it survival has become and had to become more than the question of food and safety. We need more, and have always needed more, than simply be not dead to actually survive. Most will add that living is even more. We not only can afford but we must in order to realise what we can do and what we can be, if liberated from the questions of the mere beasts.

Swear to Return

From my Black Black Gold series. The roots of where we came from should not dominate us so we progress forward and do no remain the same forever. Even the most basic urges are easily overcome once recognized as an obstacle. Keeping in mind where we came from recently should not make us disrespect our roots however.

Lack of Darkness

From my Black Black Gold series. Choosing to live in light seems logical but is not the same as living without darkness. Confronting the creeping darkness takes courage but no war on it is needed, only keeping it at bay, making it want to join, wanting to recede, to allow the light. We were made from light after all, and we are not helpless against the dark.
