Wildflower with eyes to listen
to the story that was once covered in silence. The story that was never bring forth to your eyes. A journey of realizing oneself.
A photobook by Cindy Jacenia Tanoto
Awake
For it was a perfect shell
But, it could no longer contain me.
Colours welcomed me, but they disappear before my very own eyes.
Where is everyone?
It was close to me It was immediate It felt surreal
They tried to capture me, they tried to make me theirs.
But, I am whole, I am on my own, I am free.
But, sometimes I want to free myself from this 'freedom'.
In the midst of freeing.
The snow falls beneath my toes
I put my eyes before the snow It was glowing
When the freedom comes,
am I still around?
By chance, will there be another one?
