Sometimes an image calls out for words. For a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, it could be the other way around.
Following the filigree of Facebook, fingers on keys like soles on a gallery floor, I come to this photo and catch myself longing. The caption offers no clues about sculptor or setting, only this:
WELCOME TO 2010
THE BEST AWAITS YOU
In caps, a declaration, mirroring the letters of the figure huddled, or healing - or just high above the fray? The little people look up, or down, in open, yearning gestures. No one in a rush to turn away. The light, the inconceivable letters promise a perspective on the future unavailable to readers of the daily news. Good things shall prevail.
Did you notice the figure's hand? There isn't one. It stops just short of tiny, slender people, lightly burdened by the fashion of the day. The sculpture's light endows them with something you nor I could fathom on our own. Call it hope. Name it humility or candor. Disbelieve their power to persuade. Yet, here they are, handling the future with aplomb.
Why does it sound naive to say the little people, we, are the purveyors of light? Because the powerful have grabbed our expectations, cynicism loves company, sophistication struts around in bling?
Time to listen to a woman like Emily Pilloton talk about the 'triple bottom line' - planet, people and profit.
WELCOME TO 2010. THE BEST AWAITS YOU.
