Nil Nil, 2008
I was contemplating to find a new subject for my new series. This is how I always work; I imagine the images in my mind and to create that, I begin my work. I was hearing a music that was being played next door:
“Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…”
It was John Lennon who was singing these amazing lyrics and I was feeling that I am getting close to the subject of my new series even though I still didn’t know what they were about. It felt like the neighbor is answering the doubts I had in my head, and suddenly the volume went up!
“Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace”
I was placing images on these lyrics automatically and everything was coming from the deepest part of my soul.
I didn’t want to wait any longer. I had to organize my tools and begin the work.
