Fetching is Your Dior

This reality in which we live has grown up on the matrimonies of art. Creative outlets are pushed not only to inspire but to keep oneself alive in the comings and goings of pain. We long to connect or see ourselves in anything, the unknown. Why crave to be more similar than we already are?

Would the king upon the hill be more righteous thinking about himself or his people? Carry a persona to keep your love fragrant, well half of that work is concerned with the external approval of others. Would you rather be arrested by the police or sleep in the arms of an understanding lover? To find the easiest way out, we must first access our own happiness inside. What drives humans to wake up every day and not get suffocated by their own self-awareness?

in 1976, Chris von Wagenheim created “Fetching is Your Dior” with model Lisa Taylor to transgress our natural hunger for beauty and control. We like to be in charge and flaunt our own psychological evolution from birth. A competition of who can understand the complex more orderly has been underway since the beginning of art creation. I believe that in its early beginning explanation, it was mainly self-explanatory; just use your common sense. A cave painting of a religious sect denotes exactly why it is underground and hidden. What was the motivation for this process? Protection from these antidotes during a more primal time is what has kept religion, for example, still so important today. Giving meaning and inspiring meaning are two different things of course.

For one might live their entire lives never consoling the itch in their brain when emotion evokes from an unexpected observation; “what the hell am I supposed to do with these churning and discerning ideas?” As in every occurrence, the good and the bad are merely spectacles within the game of yin and yang. I hope that a glimmer of hope appears when you come into contact with the unknown relatability of art.

P.S art is anything you want something to represent.
