take it or leave it



I think when I made this I liked the way it looked and what it meant. And I still like the way it looks and what it means but in every new context it means something else. Thinking about time, I imagine things been less complex in the past but really they were just as complex and intricate and I wavered in the wind then too. This stencil got washed away by the UvA maintenance crew; it's bittersweet. I would love for it to have lasted forever but being washed away is the nature of the medium. Impermanence seems to fit the words I sprayed, in them things feel complete and incomplete at the exact same time.

that is it. that is all it will be. to be washed away. to have its moment, to simply be washed away.
