In Europe and Russia these artists began to express Eastern concepts, alongside with emerging scientific evidence, which posited that the physical planes too were expressions of the spiritual and transcendental, using abstract forms to express inner vision, the vibration of colour and the spectrum of emotions. Abstract line elements and shapes in Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich inspired this piece, which is a bursting forward of the sublime. Fix yourself upon the movement of the dancers, frozen against the backdrop of blue mist and a glowing wheel of prophecy and constellations. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eLight seeps in from the backyard and trickles quietly\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eIn streamlike slivers.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eI wish the window in my bedroom were longer and wider,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003ein the way that I feel I could jump out at any moment\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003einto the world\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003etime slipping like sand through my fingers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eor finely ground coffee beans.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eWaiting, wondering, wandering, waiting,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003ewhat is there to wait for, exactly?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eSome core to emerge, that isn’t here already?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eMaybe if the bedroom led into a glass greenhouse\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eWith opal green ferns and palms,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eA serpentine spiral staircase\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eAnd oblong doors\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eWith lots of vegetable beds good for pickled radishes, thyme,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eMint; the taste of mint on my tongue is\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eA fresh amber sun speckled with traces of someone,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eBefore the event and after the fact,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eAnd it’s a pity that the birds ate all the mint outside.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eMaybe the trunk in the closet could open up into a stairwell leading down\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003einto heaven’s basement, the balkan peninsula, the romantic sublime,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003ea cottage in southern France.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eForest nymphs with chrysanthemum chains of hair sitting in the treetops\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eAnd a heraclitean river glides underneath,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003ea beast lapping water by the bank.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eTransported back to\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003ecandied pistachio writings and creative exercises,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003elike recovering an old friend in a different city,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"texteditor-inline-lineheight\"\u003eor recovering your childself as your oldest friend.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Calia Fernandez Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44142703312989,"sku":null,"price":1585.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/4895\/8813\/files\/serviceandchange_30702330-66b7-4824-9f6e-1bc9067a7c0d.jpg?v=1768935434","url":"https:\/\/caliafernandez.com\/products\/to-be-of-service","provider":"Calia Fernandez Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
