For You and Me
This is My Prayer —
For You and Me
The Image contains Man, it contains Me.
The Image contains You, it contains each man we have ever encountered and shall encounter. In the Image we are alone and naked.
The Image contains us, You and Me, our faces in the darkness – in our personal unique worlds.
The Image contains everything, it is the mirror of our souls – the future and the past are reflected on its surface.
The Image is eternal, one – It reveals everything, it never forgets the slightest of details.
The image tells: We exist, we are alive, we are ourselves.
The Image is history, it reveals the past, shows each man that was before us – that was born, lived and died.
The Image shows our capabilities as men, that which we are to be – in this life and after.
The Image connects us, helps us to see – ourselves and the world.
The Image tells something new, something real – each time we stop and watch it, when we come back to the moment, to our loneliness.
The Image forms reality and lets it to be born again through us.
The Image is a Prayer
For You and Me
