The Quiet Room

July 8, 2007

Conceived originally as a homage to René Magritte, this picture developed its own story in my mind as time went on, representing the inner place we all go sometimes in our imagination and private thoughts.
Children seem to be able to inhabit that special place easier than adults, perhaps because they are less distracted by the kind of crap that clutters our minds at times. Children also tend not to have developed callouses on their flights of fancy as unfortunately some "grown ups" have.
We grown ups owe it to ourselves to shake free the shackles of seriousness more often and indulge our inner child...
Embrace the world as a child and you might be surprised, it may just embrace you back!

Very cool, Cameron, and more than a bit disturbing. Excellent.
