A Collection of Quarantined Thoughts
Coming home off a 3rd voyage from South East Asia this past Jan-Feb of 2020, I was thrown into the grips of quarantine due to COVID 19 outbreak emanating from China. This pause in everyday life, gave me time, as if heralded by the spirits of the Far East, to reflect on the many experiences that I was fortunate to have. Through the photography and video I captured during these recent travels to South East Asian religious centers / temples, agriculture-wildlife parks and other cultural relic’s, I took the opportunity to collect and catalogue my thoughts.
So through quarantine began a seminal body of work producing an somewhat educational and meditational video of pictures and video captured during my months travel’s this video became “Flattening the Curve” a call of creative duty amongst artist world wide to help lesson the hardships and anxiety of quarantine.
Bamboo for Me and You
The iconic imagery of photos and video used in “Flattening the Curve” captures the very likeness of being on location taking us through the sub-tropic rivers of the Mekong River by crossing a bamboo seasonal bridge from Luang Prabang the second biggest city of Laos.
Through the monsoon rain season about six months of the year the bamboo bridge is predominant way of crossing from City and is erected and dismantled depending on season but leads to and from the city to neighboring villages where most locals live , work and goto school.
Bridge to Everywhere
The Bamboo bridge symbolizes the ultimate journey of humanity of coming together not necessarily in a globalist corporate way but however endearment for better compassion for others ,unity through understanding and respect , i know its just anecdotal but then again i am a dreamer are you?
