The Sands Of Time | LMAC Collage FreeStyle No. 22

almost 2 years ago

Like the whispers of the ages propagating the silt through our mind; hearken, for her solicitude may blossom into mendacity chasing the sands of time.

For my Freestyle Collage No. 22, my theme is insincerity. We must beware are all times efforts to deceive. Sometimes, those who approach us presenting themselves as pure in nature may not have good intentions. They bring cheer and spreads good tidings to all they encounter. They emanate purity and a good spirit. However, their thoughts are like tentacles with powerful suction dragging you down.

However, once you rid them from your life, they will be just like a bad memory you've cast to the side in the sands of time.

How do we know if this is true?

There's something called intuition. Let it guide you.

If what you see or feel doesn't quite sit right, then take heed.

If action is needed, act quickly.

If distance is needed, then extract yourself from the person or situation.

Don't look back. You life is too precious to chase or keep company with falsehoods.

In preparing my theme, I wanted to portray a beautiful woman adorned with flowers and looks like the essence of goodness. I transformed her image to show evil thoughts around her that no one can see. I wasn't certain how I'd incorporate the landscape with so much color in the woman's photo. Then I realized her pose was perfect as she was looking downward. I could use the landscape underneath.

I also utilized the image from a previous contest.
