RE: Power of Photography - Imprinted by LightCaptured
Oh, you touch on an absolutely favorite topic! I, as a lover of this wonderful city of Burgas, in which, despite everything, I would live someday, I cannot help but get excited in front of a photo of this mysterious sculpture. I have to say that when I first saw it I read a lot about it and the controversial way it came out and was received, all the scandals surrounding it that led to its removal. I saw with my own eyes its absence afterwards, only the pedestal was left. And I felt sad. I love mysteries and enigmas and this sculpture, although modern, was just that, a bit scary, but definitely caught my interest with the character it portrays - this great wizard of royal blood, the founder of Bogomilism.
Oh, really? That's indeed interesting, now I have to go search and read more.
Thank you :)
It seems to me though, in the daily hurry we don't have time anymore for mysteries and hidden messages. It has to be simple to be understood by the crowd...
Precisely because it was not understood, perhaps that is why it was removed. But if the crowd is to be reckoned with, then many things must disappear forever - all art, all sophistication, all questions, anything that makes you think. I don't know if you have noticed that a large part of the population is of low intelligence. I hope they, as a majority, will never take precedence over things, life, the world... Then it will get scary.
Well, I don't know. Such people are usually happier so what actually matter in the end? ;) Sometime, more successful and definitely with more children, LOL
