Searching For Diamonds (By Chocoviv)

Searching For Diamonds

To look at the negative side in life…
like a deep, dark abyss
Sliding down the wall
As one attempts to
Climb up
Up and up
But continue to slip
Into the underground cave
of no return…..

Too difficult to focus
To look into the sides
Of the cavern
Finding glimmers of light
Between the cracks
Of crystal ore
Revealing shards
Of priceless diamonds
Awaiting to be found.
— CHOCOVIV

(Still slipping and sliding, but trying hard to search for diamonds in this chaotic and cruel world… Praying for a healthy recovery of my dad’s situation, for the darn interest rate to go down, and hoping Stray Kids will come to town, so I don’t have to spend extra time and money to travel!

Thank you,God, for giving me an emotional oasis from the pain of this cruel world!)

Art Of The Day: Year Of The Dragon

It’s the year of the Dragon!

Happy lunar new year to everyone!

The dragon is such an amazing mythical creature in both eastern and western culture. I believe that it symbolizes prosperity and power.

(On a side note, I do own a bearded dragon!)

Do you like dragons?

Mid-autumn Festival Doodles

The four doodles I did were the Jade Rabbit, Moon Goddess (Chang E), the moon and a mooncake with tea. These images were well ingrained into the traditions of Midautumn Festival.

Mid-autumn Myths And Traditions

1) The Jade Rabbit, also called the Moon Rabbit, is a rabbit that lives on the moon. In Chinese folklore, it is often portrayed as a companion of the moon goddess Chang’e, constantly pounding the elixir of life for her. However, in Japanese and Korean versions of the story, it is just pounding mochi or tteok.—- Wikibooks

2) The Moon Goddess’s myth revolved around her drinking an immortal elixir and floating up to live on the moon.

3) “A mooncake is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The festival is about lunar appreciation and Moon watching, and mooncakes are regarded as a delicacy. Mooncakes are offered between friends or on family gatherings while celebrating the festival.”—Wikipedia

4) The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a traditional festival celebrated in Chinese culture. Similar holidays are celebrated in Japan (Tsukimi), Korea (Chuseok), Vietnam (Tết Trung Thu), and other countries in East and Southeast Asia.—Wikipedia

Washi : 和紙 Japanese Paper Art Exhibit

Washi (和紙) is traditional Japanese paper. The term is used to describe paper that uses local fiber, processed by hand and made in the traditional manner. Washi is made using fibers from the inner bark of the gampi tree, the mitsumata shrub (Edgeworthia chrysantha), or the paper mulberry(kōzo) bush.As a Japanese craft, it is registered as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.—- Wikipedia

At the Nikkei National Museum, this exhibit showcased the works of the artists, Naoko Matsubara and Alexa Hatanaka. Both used washi paper in their own way to show its versatility and durability.

Which piece looks the most interesting?
