Duality - The Search For Happy Feelings | LET'S MAKE A COLLAGE: (Complimentary) | ROUND #138

LMAC-Round138-DualExistence-FINAL.png

It's time for another round of Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC"). This week I wanted to share my complimentary collage I enjoyed creating. My overall theme was "happy feelings in duality." No matter what situations arise out of the sphere of your control, you have to look internally and find your inner peace. You may deal with two faces. One shown to the world, and one that holds and secured your inner peace.

To create the setting, I started with the photograph provided by @shaka in his contest post: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 138 - ✨297 HIVE in the Prize Pool!

Duality

Serenity is at the heart of being happy. Two faces everyone has, an internal face self, and an external face that's shown to the world. They both are connected. Today, arthritis in my knees, shoulders, back, and everywhere else I can think of plagued me. It certainly felt like I was being split into...an inner calm self, and an outer chaotic self. Sometimes, the two just don't reconcile. There's always tomorrow to look forward to. I put on a smiling face and keep going.

To compile this collage, I uploaded all images into Canva to take advantage of my Annual Pro Membership Subscription. The free image for the man's face was an excellent discovery to portray a dual image. I wanted to include two different facial features. One calm and at rest; the other, warm and hurting. They blended together nicely.

The LIL images by @quantumg, @eve66 and other members were perfect for blending together to create the scene. The sky portion of the contest photo was used solely to portray the mind's essence hanging in the balance by unknown forces.

This is so much an image of life @justclickindiva. The face we show the world is often much different than the way we are actually feeling at the time.

Much appreciate the use of the vase in your lovely collage. 😊

Yes, it is. You get it. When one has as many underlying health conditions as I do, there's absolutely no way the two can reconcile. However, realizing that no one can help, it doesn't do any good to show it sometimes. Especially when granddaughter visits.

I appreciate that you liked my duality and appreciate your support. I had no idea I'd find a precious vase like yours at LIL. So glad you took the time to share it with us.

Take care. Have a good rest of your week.

Hello. So happy you stopped by. What a coincidence. I hadn't had a chance to take a look at any collage entries yet. I'll definitely take a look at yours.

I appreciate your support and happy to hear you liked my two face.

Take care.

Hello friend, what great creativity in your collage, with a great message of reflection, the face always reflects what the person feels internally, so we must be happy and make sure that problems have solutions and always have a positive mentality and enjoy beautiful things of the life. Happy day, friend.

Es una pieza de lo más interesante, @justclickindiva. La cabeza del hombre dormido y el ojo vigilante forman un conjunto inquietante allende y aquende. Sin duda, el conjunto explora muy bien el lenguaje de los sueños.
Sé que tendrás suerte.
Un abrazo enorme

Thank you so much. I'm happy you liked my theme. It is the dream of a better life in how that person is feeling. There are two sides to a personality. Exploring both positive and negative.


Muchas gracias. Me alegra que te haya gustado mi tema. Es el sueño de una vida mejor en cómo se siente esa persona. Hay dos lados de una personalidad. Explorar tanto lo positivo como lo negativo.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm happy you liked my theme. When I first found the man's face, I knew it would work if I duplicated it. I appreciate your support.

Take care.
