My raped heart Polska ..part II, This time physical map..


Did U ever wonder why u were born in Poland?

I ask myself this question everyday of my live?!!?

It's like stain on spirit till the end of your existance..
U could be born anywhere else ..Between two hugest aggressors of the world..suffering so many years with so many countries..

Our border : west - Germany 467 km, south - Czech republic 796 km, Slovakia 541 km (Our brothers and friends), East: Ukraine 535 km, Belarus 418 km, Lithuania 104 km..North - Russia Kaliningrad Oblast 210 km.


!! KGB deleted half of my note! I must write it again!!
It's unbelievable it just disappeared in that place!


Ok what i wanted to say more our neighbours by the Sea are : Denmark - Bornholm Island , and across from us there is Sweden. Whole Baltic border : 440 km

Lenght of all borders: 3511 km


Mood is Iryna Bilyk and i don't know ..another Auschwitz story.


Ah , yes I am sorry to tell u guys but it's not my mood today only ..everyday i have mood to take a GUN and go to streets...I have got huge load of Aggression!!
Warum???!

Mein Herz Brennt !!!


Thanks God that there is a lot of Rammstein and metal parties here ..where i can expolit my whole bad energy and than can't move for at least one week from Pain in every muscle :D

It wasn't intented but i have achieved effect of stars constellation and i like it, it's pleasant to look at this map as on starry night sky..

* Tell me your opinion about Workshop ..better or worst than this one?
It was motley clouds effect in WS.


Kisses from Poland...
The superb kiss for Ukraine , Chechnya..Georgia..etc..Who are still in abuse of thier body and souls becos of Russia empire..


Ania



Ps. You don't even know how much government and media are washing your brains here ..and i just sit laugh with sarcasm , conscious of too much here...


Cry or laugh!?

Czolem Anna!
Fiu, fiu, fiu! Niezly odjazd. Nie dosc, ze oryginalny eksperyment, to na dodatek buntownicze przeslanie. Sprobuje Ci odpowiedziec na to pytanie: urodzilas sie tutaj dlatego, zeby moc powiedziec, mowie w jezyku w ktorym pisal wiersze Adam Mickiewicz. Glowa do gory, dasz sobie rade z Polska. Ona tylko z pozoru straszna. Z wierzchu zimna i twarda, sucha i plugawa, lecz wewnetrznego ognia...

Hi Ania,

EXPLOSIONS OF HEART !!!

Reality is cruel...
All the best.

jean paul

Hej Ania!
podoba mi sie Twoja interpretacja naszej mapy, kosmiczna... rany! ile kolorów krąży w Twojej głowie, niezła wyobraźnia. Jasne że zastanawiałam się nad miejscem mojego narodzenia...hmmm...wszystko ma swój cel! swietnie jeśli u schyłku życia potrafi się odpowiedzieć sobie jaki był cel mojego życia tutaj, życzę Ci odnalezienia odpowiedzi Aniu...
pozdrawiam
Magda

sie masz Ania,
ja sobie tez to pytanie zadaje choc z daleka troche sie zmienia perspektywa. jak sie Polska przestaje jawic dla Ciebie pepkiem swiata (tutaj np to wszyscy slysza Holland za pierwszymi 6 razami zanim nie powiesz powoli i bardzo glosno) i uswiadamiasz sobie ze swiata obchodzimy +/- tyle co Burkina Faso, to zdajesz sobie mocno (a nie tylko na niby) sprawe ze moznabylo sie tez urodzic w Somali. mnie sie tam osobiscie nie spieszy z powrotem, ale juz nie dlatego ze nie moge patrzec na to miejsce i sluchac co poniektorych, ale dlatego ze reszta swiata jest fajniejsza bo jest jej wiecej i wiecej mozna przezyc, spotkac, pogadac, zrozumiec, zdziwic sie i nie zrozumiec itp.
Fajnie ze Twoje posty czesto sa o czyms i ze mozna nawet samemu ze soba przez ten moment ogladania ich pogadac i wiele sobie uswiadomic/wyjasnic.
pozdro,
szablak

A ja do Polski chce wrocic!
I jak mam to odbierac ? ;)
Najlepsza metoda jest wyrzucic telewizor na smieci. Zzera mozg.,
Nie czytac gazet i nie sluchac radia. No chyba ze noca kiedy leci sama muzyka.
Ja nie mam telewizora i ..... nie bede mial ;)
nawet jak do Polski wroce to pewnie gdzies w gory. Moze nie tak wysoko zeby robic takie fotki ale zdeczko nizej ;)
Tak na pulap sztucznych ogni!
Serdecznosci!

Hello Anna,

Interesting note with contrasting graphical and colorful presentation. I like the combo.

Regards,
Jusni

Hi Ania, What a powerful presentation you have made here!
In itself, the photo is a lovely abstract with very unique color patterns and tones.
Together with your presentation, you have delivered a powerful artistic expression.

Well done my friend.
- Vincent

Amazing composition and colors
Well done
Bye

Like the original better. Good to express feelings by our art. I`m with you.

Believe me, cry out of laughing is much better.

Cheers from warm Brazil

Siema Anka!
Fotencja wyjatkowo odlotowa. Ty to tez masz pytania. Nie slyszalas, ze kto pyta, ten nie wie! Ale pytac warto. Odlotowa i odjazdowa fotka.
Odpowiadam: i smiac sie, i plakac.
Nie daj sie. 3maj sie!

Why not ?

It is beautiful like an abstract painting.

I don't know if there is a single academic discipline that covers the personality of nations, but I find it fascinating that entire populations can have a "national character" that has been broadly shaped by history. Fascinating - and perhaps in the case of Poland, sad.

Does it matter why you were born in Poland? There are better places to be, there are worse places to be: life is only what we make it.

An interesting take on an ordinary view, the colours almost look like the results of a MRI scan, misfiring synapses in a human brain. Coincidence?

Hello Anna,

I liked the texture and of the beautiful color.
as for questioning from where to be born.
nor I want to comment on....... hahahah.
But I like of here, I have faith me that here will be...
All the best...

Z jednej strony mam podobne pytanie, czy może być coś gorszego?, ano może dochodze do tego pracjąc w terenie, widując codziennie ludzi, codziennie innych ludzi, od tych naj do tych naj...az strach pomysłec...nigdy wcześneij nie zdawałem sobie sprawy z takiego stanu rzeczy dopuki tu nie wrócięłm z Irlandii i nie spojrzałem na ta polaską rzeczywistość innym świeżym spojzeniem...zupełnie inaczej widze Polskę i ludzi... nie jest najgorzej, nie kupuje sobie jeszcze dziewczyny zanim ją poznam...hehe a moze juz własnie do tego doszło?? A może to ja sie myle? - hehe?? sama sobie odpoweidz

Hello Anna, this is a very nice abstract photo. I like the colours here and the lines, almost like a puzzle.

Nice analogy.

Take care, yan :)

Hi Anna,

I understand how you feel after reading your note . .
You show us a great presentation about the map of your country . .
Chose "laugh" my dear friend . . don't "cry" . .
Great to have you with stories and pictures . .

Dear Anna, I have good friends in Poland - Lodz - I met them on TN.
Your story is so sad for Poland / Polska.
Iryna Bilyk's song has made me cry for the cruelty that has happened in your country, not just for now and the last century, but for many, many years past.
And I pray for hope for you for the future. . .
I like the WS map, and also this one - how you have changed it to be so scratched and damaged - it suits your notes.
Janice

Hi Anna,
Great hurting shot, i understand your mood & appreciate your note. Sarcasm is the good choice, better than silence, and Art may be a weapon more dangerous than bullets. composing music (metal is often engage) or making photo, the important one is do not be quiet itself.
Thanks for this!

Armel.

Hello Ania,
Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
Like the Idea very much, and the way you
illustrate it.
Very Original.
Keep it Up.

Hello Anna
To me this looks like the inside of a brain, the sarcasm( pink) overiding the black thoughts.Its a good composition and pp work.
You are very young to express such sadness, heavy metal can be a realease hatchet body wise, but I think that Yoga would be more beneficial, as with that you can search the soul as well as helping the body.
Thank you for commenting on my little cat "profile"
Have a good day
Dot

Hi Anna,

Your note is interesting...i wonder if all Poles are so tormented or you just feel it more than most...i also wonder if there is a difference between your generation and the one that went before...we have many, many Polish people in our country...it seems you all want to escape...
Your image: fragmented and chaotic, but fits what you wrote perfectly. As an illustation of feeling, i love it.
Paul

Hi Ania,

Girl get rid of that negative energy as soon as you can, it can make you really really ill.
My dad often travelled to Poland and he really really liked the people over there, what he did not like of course was the control the government had about what could or couldn't be done - sure - always a bad thing.
Being situated between 2 large countries has turned out to be reason for much turmoil, but laugh, be positive, hope for a better future, learn from the past!
Love your WS even better - very artistic - and cry of laugh? Well laugh of course, makes you feel better - if you want to cry then read a sad sad book and that will free you of tears.

Yes by writing such a long note you can expect a long answer.
Take care
Els

Hi Anna

A superb abstract shot with effective dual colours of violet & blue. Looks like a satellite image on closer examination. Tfs!

Hi Ania!
Great idea you had here! What I honestly would have done, I would have chosen a middle path between the ws and this version, but both are interesting!
Best regards,
Diana

Like a storm in your brain.....
Like a storm in yours lifes.......
Picture fit well with your feelings.....
I am touched and sad about your reallity.....
Art and imagination are some ways to evacuate the overflow.......
Happy to cross your line of life....

Czesc Aniu:)
Widze w Tobie rezygnacje... nie dobrze ale nie poddawaj sie!!!
zawsze mozna wyjechac albo wpasc na jakis dobry pomysl i zostac.
Ja nie zaluje, ze wyjechalem ale nigdy tak naprawde nie bede sie tu czul jak u siebie, a jak odwiedzam Polske to tam jestem najbardziej soba. Idiotow z mass-mediow nie slucham!!! Zyje swoim zyciem i staram sie zeby to moja rodzina byla na pierwszym planie - zawsze!!! - dopiero potem jest kazdy inny czlowiek. Rzad zawsze na koncu:):):)

Twoja praca wraz z tekstem jest bardzo mocnym akcentem w galerii, uwielbiam foty z przekazem i gratuluje. Potrzeba tu wiecej ludzi, ktorzy chca sie odwaznie wypowiedziec.
WS jest tez dobry ale wybieram jednak orginal.
Serdecznosci i keep smiling - Tomek
