Unnamed Veteran friend.
Exhibit A is my middle school best friend. He had an immense impact on me and I sought him out to say thank you for the years of friendship. I was disturbed by the news of his passing a few days ago. I thought of doing something creative like a painting in honor of him. Then the image of a painting depicting what I perceived came forward in my mind's eye and I recognized it as a painting i had already done years ago: Holographic Identity. That painting is dedicated to Kenneth Henson.
It just so happens I am studying holographic universe theory
Exhibit B is my Army days best friend. He survived a suicide attempt and lived a short while before succumbing to complications due to his gunshot injury. A mutual friend was disturbed by this painting because she thought it was a portrait of Matthews. Notice the wound on the head of the figure in the painting and Raziel's scar on his forehead.
Exhibit C is a painting channeling the death of a Veteran I had met but cannot recall his name. He discovered I was a painter and gave me one of his paintings. I gave it to Chris Clements because he actually new the guy better than i did. Self immolation was the cause of death.
All three paintings were created before the events transpired. I looked through some of my gallery of paintings and come to find those as some striking events that actually were going to transpire. If the ancient Rishis saw far beyond, what might limit the visions of something further up the road? What of holographic theory?
I love all three of you and thank you for teaching me.
