"Non mais, t'as vu l'heure !" , by Erik Pevernagie, 100 x 80 cm, oil on canvas
As we are whiling away days of idleness, time may flow rashly through the screen of our thoughts and veil the relevance of individual fragments of our story. The clock of reality can arrest us, though, and compel us to confront the demands of the truth.
“Willful blindness” may prevent us from discerning the critical fault lines in the narrative of our life. Our memory may obliterate then the crucial elements that are vital to really come to know ourselves.
If we cannot relate anymore to the world we live in, we are destined to remain like orphans, forlorn in the wasteland of our desires.
When we are overrun by time, we have to set the record straight.
