Of Love I have Witnessed I bare my soul
I remember when she left, cold indeed
But love sweet as ever, did not turn cold
No days can break dreams, only a line seen;
By imaginary vision, indeed!
Her feet do not cross anymore, the knowking;
A cry, I cannot this time feed
I am standing, standing just crying
She keeps coming back, when I have nothing;
Faceless her, I know her not by a face
What is a name to a face, but travelling?
A taste she must foresee to keep pace
I have found what she seeks, this is nothing;
But they way she is and the way I am.

Oh love, where do I find you hiding today?

beneath a tree in the wildness of my mind, there you are rootless. But beneath the ground, you swim by the tears, the fall of my cries, Oh love, where do I find you hiding today? drowning in a pool, I have come to your rescue, you ask of me to kiss you gently, and I do so as you please. But I stand with eyes watering my sight, I see you rising like bubbles, and Oh love, where do you hide today? Up in the sky, I reach for your touch, and your wind blows me kisses, yet I long for you down on the ground, just a moment, please, I ask you of this, will you step slowly in my reach? 

Tomorrow, I''ll be old and used,
From time and years,What beauty those eyes seek,
wishful night, enlarged my sight, I
gain a lost so brightly dark, but do tell me, that in time,
I shall reep my findings, that the efforts strongly wrong are rightfully bound, to catch me blindly. Do I not contradict, a saying with another, but no I claim. From the time I was a child emotionally attached, my head was detached from the overall frame, still the colors weeped my clothes in reds, blues, yellows, and violets; I felt nothing said could wash away the pain felt, but do tell, the lies bleeded into a death, untold. Can't you see the frame is not to blame and I haven't committed a crime? I haven't step into a pool of sorrow, I have no stain that follows. My position is standing, trembling a ghost face, and I whisper in your ear, vibrations seep into the air, swallowing your breath, I hold my breath, catch a fraction of my death. The secret of stationary imagination follows our deepest scars and I weep my cries to her, the girl standing, trembling in front of my face, she hold my secrets, dear.

Up High in clouds, my head wanders to the ground Below, enter the window of secret imagination, and you will follow..

Director Pixote Hunt used abstract imagery and a beautiful pastel palette to depict a colorful tale of good versus evil in Ludwig van Beethoven's
rising moon by alicepopkorn.

In the midst of the day, I follow where the heart goes.

Four Courses Of Particuliar Interest
  •  Film and Culture with Z. Szigetvari. Not only was it interesting to analyze the relationship between the viewers and cinema and between cinema and society, the teacher opened a playing field that stimulated our thinking every class.
  • Media and Youth. This class was a great introduction to semiotics and learning how films, music videos, and advertizing, impacts society and viewers is interesting.
  •  Scriptwriting. I am interested in learning about writing screenplays so to have a class simply focus on it was great.
  • Documentary. The materiel covered and the films that were introduced were interesting as well as learning and analyzing how documentaries are made, the teacher helped expand our thinking about the subject.

Because this program has a large focus on creativity, individuality, and the creation of artistic works, there is a lot of consideration as to what it means to create, the process of creation, what it means to individuate, and how creativity works within individuals. Who ever is highly successful in the creation of an art piece whatever form that may take, I believe it is because they have come to a point where they have individuated, and more so, separated.  The idea of separation is the autonomy that is needed to express one's own identity. As we come to the end of our program, this class is exactly our separation from one part of the creative process we undertook, and the beginning of another, again in whatever form that may be. My project will try to incorporate the theme of identity, individuation, and more so, separation.

Knowledge Base/Skill Set
  • I believe my strongest asset is thinking and analyzing the content and form of artistic creations, how films impact individuals and society.
