the artwork surrounding the school was telling us stories unheard of our imagination filled the story of the artistic expressions

as passing by the wooden log outside the art show we stumbled upon this canvas

wooden, a bit neglected amongst the other highlighted drawings the woodwork on the canvas in a relaxed mood damn care attribute taking a bit of relaxation on his own

sat upon a muddy plateau looking to the passerby without questions to ask without answers to fill

nothing of that significance compared to other showcased canvases but the effort someone put into it highlighting the motionless expression on the woodwork pastel brought to the viewers

life contains diverse motions some contain significance some without significance why do we always have to ask for preciousness?

the insignificant gestures are the fillers of our life without their fluid presence, we might miss the moments that we opt for.
