i have to write a bio for my paintings hanging in a design company. it is suppose to say something about me. i wrote this:
***
Beautiful and curious extraterrestrials charting unexplored star systems happen upon a rare blue jewel of a planet, with viridian emerald lands peeking beneath playfully soft swirling liquid clouds. Thrice orbital scans prove whomever dominant specie that once dwelled is no more. A few architectural structures are still holding in certain major inhabited clusters. Decision to investigate first hand precedes the slow, perpendicular entry into rich layers of light refracting atmosphere.
Excitement stirs when they land in an open forest two thirds up one promising island. Their attention once off ship is turned to a building that is on her knees, but definitely still standing. Like the ivy, they ascend the stairs and enter the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In the silent stillness, they are moved.
Conversing slowly with each piece, they saw our eclectic thoughts, our unlimited inspirations, our incomprehensible emotions, and in the portraitures, our value of individuality.
When the aliens come, my work will be there, giving flavour and insight to our once vast humanity.
