'Humans Through Centuries'
This photograph makes me reflect on the past. Past in the sense of past times, historical events, our long traditions and numerous blunders. Everything we are today, as a human race, was created through countless time and brought us to where we are standing, now. Many events unfolded through the centuries of rivalry, errors, fighting for power, but also deep thoughts, fabulous art and highest human virtues.
Sometimes, looking at the state of the world, I wonder how did we get this far but also if it is far enough. Will we reach the stars before our place becomes doomed, or will our birthplace also be the grave of our civilisation? So many countless civilisations have risen and fallen through the ages. Will ours be different? Was the crucial point of no return already have been reached or shall we perish like many proud ones who've walked this realm before us?
In this single exposure, there is a clock, representing the passing time; buildings, representing our progress; a ruler who is a symbol of power and a part of a porcelain figure which stands for arts and crafts we have created through the centuries. A well-composed mixture of elements is representing the idea of nothing standing on its own. Every element in our history counts and nothing happened in vain. Things which had to happen had happened and they led us to the very moment in time where we are now. What we have learned is supposed to help us move forward, the only place which really matters.
I used pastel, soft colours that blend well together. Blue, green, orange, yellow, some red, work in unison to underline the idea of many elements which had to be put in their place. It appears to be a pile of things but definitely not a disorderly one. Elements are well placed and precisely lead the thought to the conclusion.
Enjoy! :)

Wow. It's good to see that you appriciate wonderful artistry.
The history of the human race is very interesting and cruel. Looking back, we see constant military conflicts. What has changed now? Never mind. Even today we see a "theatrical" conflict between the Russian world and the Americans and their NATO allies. I mean what's happening in Syria. In fact, these countries continue to conquer the territory. Only in our time this happens differently.
But I prefer to see the positive side of humanity in the past. Yes, there really were a lot of interesting historical moments that changed the world. All that we have now is the result of what happened in the past. When I studied astrophysics, we came across familiarizing moments of the life of our planet. There was a lot of interesting information about the periods of development and about the eras. Yes, we are not the first dominant species on our planet. But we are a developed and intelligent form of life and I hope that in the future progress will give us the opportunity to conquer outer space. Do not just climb into space, but colonize another planet. Ilon Mask is a person who inspires respect. If he does it through him, we'll see the first people who fly to colonize Mars. I really like that.
I like how in the photo you displayed two different realities. It looks like a pensive look into the past. The main element here is the clock. They create the main idea.
Thank you!
The past has an indirect function in improving the quality of our lives, through our commandments or our way of thinking.
Appreciate the past because the past has accompanied every step of our time. Do not forget, set aside, let alone throw it away. As for all our past, every event must have the wisdom for us to learn and we apply science and its benefits in the future. If there is bad memory, we should forget it so as not to reveal more injuries.
But that is not to forget is the learning material about what we should do so bad memories do not happen again. Do not let us fall in the hole We should be able to look back to know the background of our lives. That way, we will not be a self-forgetful person in life.
Our lives will always be well controlled without skipping the sexual period. Always remember and believe in your heart, "create your community, as a reflection to move in the future!" so, our lives will be more beautiful, directed, and away from feelings of distress.

it's really true if we remember the past what we have passed, there is hard to be happy, there is like there is grief, it has all been felt in the past, and thought to the future whether we feel what we have felt the past, it seems to be there again before we die. but yes live it.
Amazing Art 💖💖

Prima danke schön 💗
in the 21st century and we still live in global conflicts, fierce dictatorships, people dying of hunger. It seems that we have not advanced, that we do not learn from the mistakes of the past but from my own experience I can tell you that all these things serve to grow as humanity, we are still young in history since the creation of the universe. I live in Venezuela and I must admit that the dictatorship we are going through has made us better human beings because we see the worst things of the human being in the face but also those willing to help and improve themselves to get out of the situation, we remember how important they are the rights and freedom for which we must fight. we take photos to remember the past I prefer to take photos to build the future. a better future.

velimir, me encanta la forma en que describes tu obra, cada uno de sus elementos y significados. También me gusta la reflexión respecto a la historia y la repercusión de los tiempos pasados en nuestro presente y es que tenemos que tomar en cuenta el pasado para poder mejorar el presente, el pasado representa la experiencia vivida y la posibilidad de no repetir errores, lo cual nos garantiza crecimiento humano ya que nuestro presente es consecuencia del pasado, si mejoramos el presente estaremos haciendo aportes positivos al futuro y que esto es como una competencia, lo que hoy es presente mañana sera pasado y lo que hoy es futuro mañana sera presente, solo siempre debemos recordar de donde venimos para poder saber a donde vamos.
@Velimir... These line caught me thinking "Everything we are today, as a human race, was created through countless time and brought us to where we are standing now"
That was a beautiful illustration of art.
Truly everything we are today was created through countless try an errors..funny enough we may see this phase as the best but tomorrow will proof it wrong!!
Art is life! You draw meaning from a meaningless piece
