I have always glamorized the idea of running away. Not in the sense that I myself would ever be so much of a rebel (or that I have ever wanted to), but I've devoured stories like Peter Pan, Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes, and any of those series in which parents were basically absent for the entirety of the book. I liked that kind of adventure, and I still glorify travel and moving out. Newness in general, because one has to draw on the old to achieve change. I am not so naive that I believe in a sudden character shift overnight, but something has to spark it. You have to take risks, leave your comfort zone. Speaking of the past, the top right photograph of the Louvre was taken by my dad on my parents' trip to Europe in the 80s, and I printed it a few days ago in my school darkroom from the negative. There's something sort of symbolic about that I'm really loving. Although I'm not totally sure how my family feels about me using it in a collage about escape?
I love this post and your collage! Did you do it for school or just for the heck of it? It looks lovely either way :)

Thank you for the comment on our blog! It was a sad post, but it is good to know that people can relate, that we all go through rough times sometimes.
ReplyDeleteFor me, running away, going places is a chance to reinvent myself. Especially if I am on my own.
Nobody knows me and my past, which makes it so much easier to leave everything behind. The most wonderful moments of my life, filled with so much joy and freedom were always somewhere far, far away from home. Wanderlust <3

wow just scrolling through your blog and this is so lovely! I wish I had such good collage skills, but I'm lazy :) I also entirely agree with what you are saying, I also read 13 Little Blue Envelopes and loved it, and hope one day to just venture out on my own and see Europe without the watchful eye of adults. You can't have adventure without a little danger!
