The multi layers of blood and resin used to create this work, some which can be up to three inches thick, allow onlookers to delve into the painting. Each viewing allows the discovery of the nuances Jordan is able to create by manipulating his medium, such as delicate cracking to concentrated fields of uniformity. Color is also a central theme with ranges of rich browns to crimson reds, sometimes mixing metallic pigments, all issuing distinct luminosity to the work.

Cinderella Story by Min Jeong Seo.
How a movie is used to shape the minds of our youth.
Min Jeong Seo makes use of the glass slipper covered in blood, where the blood represents falseness of magical fortune, to represent the mirage and delusion that exists in the sub-conscious mind.

Before You Came
by Faiz Ahmed Faiz
Translated by Agha Shahid Ali

Before you came,
things were as they should be:
the sky was the dead-end of sight,
the road was just a road, wine merely wine.

Now everything is like my heart,
a color at the edge of blood:
the grey of your absence, the color of poison, of thorns,
the gold when we meet, the season ablaze,
the yellow of autumn, the red of flowers, of flames,
and the black when you cover the earth
with the coal of dead fires.

And the sky, the road, the glass of wine?
The sky is a shirt wet with tears,
the road a vein about to break,
and the glass of wine a mirror in which
the sky, the road, the world keep changing.

Don’t leave now that you’re here—
Stay. So the world may become like itself again:
so the sky may be the sky,
the road a road,
and the glass of wine not a mirror, just a glass of wine.
