pliable.

“A man is born gentle and weak; at his death, he is hard and stiff. All things, including the grass and trees, are soft and pliable in life; dry and brittle in death. Stiffness is thus a companion of death; flexibility a companion of life. An army that cannot yield will be defeated. A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind. The hard and stiff will be broken; the soft and supple will prevail.” (Quote by Lao-Tzu)

objet trouvé – “forsaken steps”

During a drone expedition with captain AR recently, I came across this abandoned shoe on the field. I felt an artistic texture and shade on it the moment I glanced at them and is the basis of this fine art piece. I’m titling this piece  “forsaken steps“.

Interestingly, contrary to what I thought, these abandoned items are valued and appreciated in artistic circles in a wide variety of themes. A common one is something called “objet trouvé”. It’s a French word that basically refers to a natural or discarded object found by chance and is given an aesthetic value by an artist. A recent artistic trend is to refer to these items as “Trashion”, which is a direct reference to trash that emanates art and fashion. Identity for the item is normally derived from the designation placed on them by its wear and tear, condition it is left in, and often the context it is placed into. So, “forsaken steps” would probably be the first art piece from The Border of a Mind Illustration Studios, that directly uses objet trouve concept, which as I noted above is to describe art created from undisguised, but often modified, objects or products that are not normally considered materials from which art is produced, primarily owing to the fact that they already have a non-art function to it.

Other artistic themes from the studio include:

Planning to release some footage of drone flights tomorrow. Not the aerial imagery, but just the drone flying around for your visual gratification of cinematic drone B’rolls. I highly encourage you to skim through our moving images archive. I’m really thankful to AR for spending his valuable time with me for such creative pursuits. Cherishing’

motor bird apologue

I went with AR for another round of drone trials early morning.
While the motor bird was flying, I was engrossed with some silhouette moments.
Stay tuned as we plan to roll in some visuals of this little guy flying around very soon.

Hope is a Ferris wheel.

“Hope is a Ferris wheel-
It takes Low and High;
And when you reach the Top,
It’s like you can touch The Sky!
And when it takes you Down-
Hope becomes A Thing
That, When you’re getting Off,
You take With you to Bring.”

― Robin Herrera, Hope Is a Ferris Wheel
