Somehow sequel to Le Lettre du Passe. Both those image seems to have similar style and both just "came". I never planned them.. I never went to work with them. I was doing something else in photoshop and then ended up putting layer after layer those together, playing with colors..

When first one was about past and hidden messages, then this one is about the nature.. the nature of human. I happened to see a documentary about youth of Karol Wojtyłai and Poland in WW II. And while watching it..I realized what this piece is about (I had done it month or so before. Given the name but never wrote the file I usually write to go with image.. because after the finishing, I have the strongest emotion of the work)

So.. while watching the documentary, they rise the question there - what is man capable of doing.. All the war horrors.. the thing other man to do man.. Where it all comes? Why are humans like that?

I think there is noone who can answer for it.. I think there even isn't answer for it. People can have their theories and they can think and figure and believe what the want but I think this is one of those things what cannot be explained. Some people spend their entire life helping people, doing good and giving for the world and others when others are filled with anger and hate and take what is dare from people around them. Even brothers.. they can grow up in same place, have same life but one ends up being helper, other destroyer. So what decides who we are: is it just some random act.. someone rolling a dice, making decision: this one is to be good, this one is to cause pain, this one won't care about nothing..

I think I tried to portray that randomness.. that seed of evil we all have in us.. I tried to use colors of red and orange.. to have that .. mm.. maybe bloody feeling.. and use massive black (I do remember art classes, don't worry - no massive black on normal cases) to show the way the venom works.. and those words.. like carved into the skin, into soul.. words that are from our past.. I mean.. everything we come together leaves a mark. And those words represent those past memories.. and that poison of hate growing.. passing.. getting closer to heart.. tearing us apart..

What I believe... we all have the seed of evil somewhere inside us. I do not think that is part of our human nature but it is something we have get so used to. But noone of us is "made" or "decided" to be evil. We ourself make that decision. Those encounters of past.. those words carved into our skin.. we have the change to choose which to take with us.. which to erase. It's never easy task but I think one worth trying. I cannot say we have to try rip out every piece of that evil roots inside our soul but to find a way to live it - to have strength to be brutal and will to fight for your believe is also essential. Sometimes I feel I am too "naive" or "good-hearten" and those people get hurt.. so to finding the balance between kind heart and roots of evil is essential..

Live to give.. as you will be given back all the good...
