“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.”
Lao Tzu

When you dream, everything looks real until you exit that dream.
When you’re in the dream, you never know that you’re within a dream.
What makes you so sure that you’re not on a dream right now?
You might wake up from the dream you are in now.
Time for reflection

“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”

About the storm
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

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:
