Return of Peter Pan - by Kasia Turajczyk

Do we really have to give up our dreams and allow society to rule our lives? It starts from the moment that we are born: "You have to do so, you have to behave in this way, you can't say that, you can't do that, don't look like that, don't move, don't cry, don't laugh, don't think, don't breath".
Lying is wrong, but telling the truth isn't good, either. When you grow up, society expects you to have a job, to make money, to find a partner to reproduce new offspring and after that, do the same to them that your parents did to you; program them.

For thousands of years, humans have agreed to be and do so without guaranteeing that our lives will be better, happier or healthier. The primitive instinct to procreate and the other strong instinct; to stay alive occupy the humans' minds.    It is encoded in our universal DNA even if we know we all die, eventually, and our death is often despicable and undeserved.
We are working with persistence to develop new technologies, to make our lives easier but at the same time to destroy each other with more sophistication. We created a kind of civilisation, but it is very primitive. To be true, we didn't change as homo sapience much in the last 10000 years. Wars, conflicts, exploitation, slavery, deceptions, envy, propaganda, jealousy and all surrounding fear control our existence.
The best way to survive in this world is to find your inner child and escape into that reality; hide there and wait till the end of your life.
Puella Aeterna and puer Aeternus are the heroes of my "Peter Pan" series.  

This is not a Paradise - by Kasia Turajczyk.

I think that becoming a mature person isn't a synonym for better. Definitely, it doesn't mean a better life. To stay a child forever is only the possible alternative to survive in this horrible world. Contrary to the physiologists' arguments……..Live Long Peter Pan! Voilà

Catch me if you can!


Catch me if you can - acrylics on canvas by Kasia B.Turajczyk

Once upon a time there was a forest, and some trees, and a bridge, and water, and a reflection in that water, i.e. an optical illusion.
A mysterious light, a surreal ambience, slightly unrealistic, a bit “horrorific” (sic!).
Then the eye was created. An All-Seeing and All-Knowing Eye. A Protecting Eye, a Reasoning Eye – but also a rebuking, twisted and unpredictable eye.
Then on the other side a planet was born. But is that a living planet? It is an unknowable fact. It is a big mystery. This planet is motionless. The far side is always dark and inaccessible.
Then in the end THEY came. What do they want? I will not be the one to betray their secret. If you want to know, go and talk to them, q.v.
They are still there, I checked again recently. They even tried to communicate with me. Unfortunately my currently very muddy brain couldn’t understand them. I blame the depression, the rain and fog.
I am not sure if you will be able to see them, it seems to me that they like to play ‘hide and seek’. They are not afraid of me, perhaps because I made them. Nonetheless they don’t want me to take liberties with them. I think they are right, by the way. I could asphyxiate them with my nihilism.
P.S. When you arrive at the car park of Lawrence Castle in the Haldon Forest Park do not follow the path of your scarcely sufficient imagination. Instead close your eyes and start using quantum entanglement to traverse the distance between you and them. Find the bridge and wait until the deepest mystery of THEIR being is revealed. Of course this will only be possible if you are honest, brave and beautiful (inside).
