i’ve always struggled to put my emotions into words and express them outwardly in a way that makes sense to others/doesn’t make them uncomfortable/is seen as societally acceptable. i feel like as the internet evolves and becomes more cynical and less genuine, earnestness online is becoming a lost art. sincerity can be scary but i think we all need to learn it. i think sincerity and earnestness and keeping our hearts big and kind will save all of us in the end

we are made to feel like these are prudish or closed-minded things to hold close in our lives (or to prioritize while making big decisions)... but they aren't!

The art that you spend so much time with in solitude takes on a version of you. Maybe the work you make isn’t necessarily something you share easily with openness. Maybe you don’t feel that you say the “correct” things in the moment and the right words find you later on. I definitely feel that way.
Opening up myself and being vulnerable has never been easy for me. I grew up in a family where affection was never loud. Love was tuned in silence.
Recently sharing my art, an extension of my love, has been a bit scary, but rewarding. A closeness and intimacy is shared that leads to a clearer understanding.

it's lovely how we are able to speak into existence something so abstract and dynamic like gratitude and love. i will never take it for granted

all of mansour’s works are gorgeous and so beautifully representative of the palestinian condition (pre and post-intifada) but there’s something about 1985’s ”hope” that’s always stuck with me, much like 1993’s “the nazarene” (also attached). i cannot recommend looking further into mansour’s works enough. follow him on instagram @/sliman.mansour 🕊️
