mask pulled off

going BAT AM tomorrow! learnt new terms today like ahtiong. so racist yeah, tsk. the crit sessions under kahwee are sometimes insightful but for the =majority of the time it takes so so long, too long, that i feel i have no stamina to wait through the pauses, some pregnant, some just unthinkingly barren. i'll be back come sunday evening, i hope to encounter God. simple as that. i hope to slow down, and immerse myself in God's love. i hope to stop pretending stop trying and just be. me. whatever that may mean.

today my studio mate shared his "Free Expression" of Emily Hill.. his project looked cartoonish, and it was a little out of the world bizaarre, something only he could come up with in an interesting way. but it was especially poignant because he shared about his loneliness- deep, hollow, resounding, frustrating. he's not local, and he's plunged into this foreign land for barely a month, and it reminded me of my favourite haunting thinking pools: that of masks. he's always a carefree, fun loving, nonsensical presence, cheerful, energetic, and today i saw the exhausted side of him, the beneath side, the side that grows tired, bored, faces failures and pushes it down, falls and picks itself up, doesnt like some things but bears with them. the side that lies deep down in each one of us perhaps, the side we dare not confront. so i think he is brave, extremely so, for revealing what prefers to lie hidden.
