and, or....??

habitat and refuge....two different words and used in the same way but may be they can go hand in hand..thats what i think.

refuge has been a primal image of human living. caves have been the preferred living spaces of old, since they provided optimal protection. today we can still see this ancient preference in children, connected to their long gone ancestors, who love to build huts and secret hide outs. this animal and human need for creating refuges govern us on the whole.

people also feel the need to create their own habitat, as well, as a way of offering resistance to complex and disorganized society and these habitats are again a refuge from the social and also personal upheavals.

different or same...

some minutes back i was goggling for some designs for the clothes and there i came across a website named "cheap shalwar kameez"..
as the name suggests it had really CHEAP stuff..but the thing what i was thinking is that why don't people think about the related possibilities with the titles or labels they give to their products..like here cheap... and...cheap.

another almost the same thing which i feel about the use of word "sex" on different forms and questionnaires etc..when the (almost) equivalent somber word "gender" is there, and explains the thing more appropriately.

Something or Nothing!!

past and present-in any of the things, there is no difference in some of the factors still..

*think unbiased*

if we think of the art field, whether working in a private studio, academy or publically, the artist of today has to keep the personal freedom, responsibility and political correctness (the visible correctness)in his hands, at the same time. even the artists of past had to have these things in their minds in the spot light, under various circumstances. more or less, its almost the same.

one thinks that as the culture advances, so our opportunities to explore and execute too. but the limitations of academic position and narrow minded public perception also serves the constrains of the contemporary artist's abilities and under these circumstances, sometimes the works exhibited seem ill in conception under the contemporary slogan with the invisible title 'something or nothing'.
