Ghosts to forget

Description

This collage is about the ghosts in our lives. The ones that haunt us, that come back unexpectedly in our monkey mind. The ones you wish to forget or to stop thinking about over and over again.

I read somewhere that when you keep thinking about a situation that could have evolved differently if you had done this or that. The what if’s. Well, your mind is living it again and again. If it was a painful situation, you make yourself going through this pain not once but every time you think about it.

This artwork is to remind us to let go the thoughts of these painful ghosts as we can’t change anything about it. It reminds us to live mindfully in the present. Having an art practise, meditating, yoga,… can help you doing so.

This piece is unframed so you can chose the frame that fully fits your home.
