(2020) The prologue below is an autobiographical story and serves as a kind of introduction to my visual work. In the accompanying paintings, you see me slowly transforming into this Black Crow.
Translation of the prologue:
Years ago, not far from here
a boy died.It was a whole lot of misery.
But because the boy was filled with love,
he was given a second life.
From that misery, a black crow was born.
The black crow was left with a scar
an enchanted scar,
a kind of grief magnet.
It pulls him toward the places where people fight,
where money wins over love,
where things are miserable.
Still filled with love,
the black crow shines light on these places.
That way, he gives back to the world
the love he once received from her.
With love,
STHOM
