"The world was somewhere else" , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas, 80 x 60 cm

Comes the tipping point in life when we decide to a 'stop and search,' and our emotional police brings us to a standstill. It allows us to scan all the little details in the spectrum of our being. We scour all fuzzy or cryptic elements that are floating around in our minds and restore the fault lines in the cluttered tale of our life.

When life only consists of infantile first world problems and day-by-day futilities, our mind is eager for other values, which should fill the unbearable emptiness.

If we are suffocating under the pressure of the banality of evil and losing out to the slowly infiltrating cancerous cells of indifference, resilience, and redirection is required.

Dwelling among shipwrecked dreams and losing oneself in wishful thinking cannot be a solution to tribulations. Identifying cracks and apprehending the defaults in one's life is essential to find a way to get out of the swamp and to start a search for a new haven.
