Telling our stories through art features

And so, without further ado, I'm diving into it.

This piece has been my favorite for what seems like a veritable eternity. I am a great animal lover, and very much a "dog person", as far as labels within that group go. I have 7 dogs at home, and I share a great love for the canis genus overall, which includes (but is not limited to) dogs and wolves. They are my greatest companions, my loyal friends and an essential part of my family. I could never do without them.

Wanderlust is perhaps my strongest driver, and apart from art, I consider travel to be my greatest aspiration and my raison d'être. I dream of traveling the globe and setting off without a destination in mind one day, with only the road ahead. I imagine I am not alone in this. The piece strikes me as particularly telling, given that it depicts so many different clock towers from around the world that I wish to see, but also bears a resemblance to a famous clock tower in my own home town of Novi Sad, Serbia.

When I was little, my father nicknamed me "Aquarius", which, albeit an air sign, nevertheless describes "one who loves water", waterborn in a sense. Strange though it may sound, I've never felt as myself and as comfortable on land as I have in water - water of all shapes and sizes - seas and oceans, pools and lakes. It is perhaps small wonder that I am in love with Finland, a reputed land of a thousand lakes.

I've always had a love-hate relationship with time. As many, I feel time to be subordinate to experience, and as such always seems to rush through the pleasant moments in life, and prolong the unpleasant into eternity. And as such, I'm waging a futile, Don-Quixote-against-the-windmills war on it. And always it seems like there is so little of it left.

Music is my grandest inspiration, rain is my never-ending source of comfort and peace. And playing music during thunderstorms is a unique experience unto itself.

Books are the greatest escapism life has to offer, and one I feel I could never function properly without. There is not a feeling in the world that compares to that of being immersed in a good book, nor a disappointment quite like that which strikes after finishing such book.

*

And of course love, though not necessarily that of a fanged variety.

And now it's your turn. Pick 5-7 peaces that best describe you, add a short elaboration on each of the peaces, then post a link to either mine or Aeirmid's latest journal to share your own story.
