The Place That Cannot Be

August 12, 2011 by sketchbloom

View from Central Park, Manhattan. Lumix camera + Digital Alteration. Summer 2011.

The Greeks had two different interpretation for the word “Utopia”.

The first one (pronounced U-topos) meant “the good place”.

The second, pronounced Ü-topos, meant “the place that cannot be”.

Paraphrasing Mad Men.

Ink on tracing paper. Kuwait, January 2010. The scene at the bottom is what I saw-or decided to see- at The Avenues, the most popular malla in Kuwait City. There is nothing like seeing photography and drawings from a trip abroad to make you realize all reality is subjective, and we choose to see what we want to. We just don’t realize it in our own backyard.
