minimalism |ˈmɪnəməlˈɪzəm|
movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is stripped down to its most fundamental features. ...
As I am getting older, I no longer dream of the things I used to. It is almost as if i've found a new tune to dance to, or perhaps new shades to see the world. I find myself in constant search for open air, and all things that represent such. Captivity and domestication are two things that I may always find resistance towards. I do not mean this in the sense of doing domestic things such as cooking, cleaning or grocery shopping. Heaven knows I love those things. I just hope that I may never have to jettison my dreams of endless possibilities.
I only see things as shapes, colors, symmetry, asymmetry and all the things in between
I only hear sounds as major, minor, diminished, augmented, and all the things in between.
One day, when I build a house which I will it will entail these thing:
No windows, just doors
Doors that cannot be locked
A bath where I can submerse myself in. Ofuro style
Library that has ladders and tiers of books
Simple.

ReplyDeleteLet's put some of these epic bookshelves in our houses. I was always so happy when I saw Beauty and the Beast and the library in there. Oh my. :)
