Description

This artwork has been created as an entry for a contest.



People tend to fear death and the unknown - they all fear being in the after life as no one will really know what is in there or what happens to each of us. But the reality of things.. in which not everyone will admit or be honest about.. is the fact that what we truly are being afraid in losing are our attachments in life - whether it be attachments we have from people, our family.. the relationships we have build, the achievements we have worked hard for, the material things we somehow cannot live without.. or even the fear of losing that one special person. Sometimes, questioning and fearing the after life is a matter of escape when what we truly want are the things we hold dear in the present moment.

It is what we had on our daily life since we were born into this world. We all think it is what makes us complete. We don't realised that as we die and enter the after life.. is the moment we come together to our truest selves and be free from attachments and burdens we have encountered in the present. It's something that makes us free and give us a truth of the things that has eluded us and confused us in the past. When we come together in the sanctuary in heaven.. we experience a complete spiritual awakening and enlightenment more than ever before. Oddly enough.. dying actually made us more alive and living than how we were in the material world.

When it's time to come - it is time to come but never look for the path how to go to the after life.. (suicide) as that is another path in which you won't know.. if you'll even reach the place you want to in and find what you are looking for... So struggle now in the material world. Do everything to live and survive. Fight for the things you want and the things you believe in.. as every moment counts and its always best to live with no regrets - as our coming together occurs.. we shall accept the experience in peace and tranquility of our own being.. and our souls.


Program Used: Adobe Photoshop CS6

I used a lot of different techniques of photo manipulation on this artwork. (I've mainly just played around with it endlessly since it's been a long while since I did anything like this - (like years.. of not doing any photo manipulation, lol). I also created an illusion of her soul figure to represent the coming together as one in the theme of my artwork (I tried to make this not obvious as much as I can as I don't want it to be seen immediately at first glance.. I feel this way, it becomes more organic and realistic). The pink and blue hues are not accidental.. as I feel when this mixed all together.. it gives that sense of completeness (like yin and yang - light and dark - white and black - kind of thing) also, I believe these combination really represents finding peace within. It has that celestial and heavenly feel to its effects to give impact to the message of the artwork.
