Resurrected Love Reclamation and Sculpture

trauma at times, or for a majority of time afterword can make a person feel dead, that there person has been murdered!!! such as myself... i have also heard many Veterans who have been to war who also say that they feel that way too... after i express myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ there is that aspect of it, the aspect of not wanting to live a physical life through this pain, and then there is also the final element ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ i have found that i am at times indifferent about life... but i constantly say, i don't want to live if i can't live!!! then i say things too, like i want to write this book about the war i have been through... which still adversely affects me... tremendously... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ i want to expose that, even though we who serve are up to die (i mean it can and does happen and there is the wounded as well) for the defense of our Nation's Democracy, we here in America still have work to do on the Democracy front!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ so, it is my hope that i become stable ( a place to live - be able to write this book, after sharing art, and i have so much to share, i wish to get my book finished and published and to do public speaking on the topics therein... (and hope to write many more)!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ so - yes, some of the sculptures (and other art) does portray a part of the side of life called death and , even the hopelessness that one suffers in what is supposed to be life... but it also depicts the hope to want to live, to find life again, and to share with others the encouragement, nurturing and any hope u may have found... even if it is that u are still hoping to find hope for a severe trauma that U suffer[ed] from. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ one of the installations is RESURRECTED LOVE RECLAMATION which is a depiction of starting over, i will later post some links to videos of my installation, if there is a place to do so ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ so with that, i say to U, peace and love, and enjoy!!! - below is my dream about what i want to do to further the installation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ over 100 casted pieces of resurrected love created from my soul/hands to be reclaimed, i thought i would be there all by myself! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ well that was the best April 10th 2010 has ever seen!!! for the art world that is!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ✈ i dream of doing this installation in various locations in Los Angeles, throughout the United States, and eventually around the world ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ✈ it is also my dream that i grow this "Resurrected Love Reclamation" to 100,000 pieces and show it (as it grows) at least 100 times before i pass out!!!

😀😁😂😃😇😆😈😊😋☺️😌😍😎 REASONS: ☆ i am a disabled Marine - i don't want to risk losing the help that i am getting in any manner - to where i will be homeless on the street or anything of that nature! if as an artist i am finally discovered i will have the means to live - as well as the significance of my giving to society in the capacity i am able to give will be realized. ✪ overthrow the negativity that i am subjected to - because of the people who committed crimes against still have a very negative and adverse affect on me - the world can teach them and all the monsters of the world a lesson not to victimize the vulnerable (disabled etc.) ✯ where through my offering of art to the world for both the aesthetics and as healing art - it can be accepted and sent to many others in the share of love - a collective healing love! i experienced being murdered - ★ because of various traumas - where 8/29 is close to the date where several people got away with committing crimes against - despite my service to the U.S.A. i suffered major traumas - where several people committed crimes against me - knowing they could take advantage of my state while vulnerable because of disabilities - in these crimes EVERYTHING was stolen away from me - ★ all my material belongings - everything - i hope this will teach them that my spirit will never change - as my spirit of being and giving has always been the same - i was always an impecunious philanthropist - though i am not penniless now, i am still unable to make it off of skid row - albeit i still give in many different ways ⦿◎◉ ★ with overwhelming support as an artist - i will be able to find the professionals who will be able to prove once and for all that they committed crimes against me - which will help to alleviate the anguish of trauma ⦿◎◉ ★ i will also have more stability where i can write the book that i have been trying to write for years - and i can pay others to write the book with me. after that ★ i can do public speaking where i will continue to make positive contributions to our world for the broader road to civility. 8/29 is my birthday - it is a date that i would love to come back to life - some of you will know exactly what i am saying here!
