Day 7: "MAYBE"

MAYBE

I went into this piece knowing two things.  

1.  I wanted to take a minimal approach.

2.  And I wanted to use text.

Text art or art that incorporates text is very 

powerful to me.  I think
about how powerful the written word is.  There are so 

many things I have read out there that have told 

me this before but like anything else, each time you 

experience it for yourself is when it becomes more alive.

When choosing the word 

MAYBE,

I was thinking about our society being a non-commital society.  

We want to leave ourselves open to the possibility of 

something better coming our way...whatever that 

'something' 

might be, unique to each of us, 

depending on our situation, environment, 

relationships, finances, health and social status 

to name a few.  Even though 

MAYBE 

is not much of a strong word, because of it's 

non commitment status, it has so much depth and 

strength within what it is.  When I want to make a 

word even stronger I always use a period 

after the word, as I did here.  To me, a period 

is ironic in this 'statement' but is needed.  

A period signifies 'the end', or 'end of discussion'. 

The irony 

comes in the fact that the period is a 'matter of fact', 

'a decision has been made' symbol 

and yet the word, MAYBE, lives in the land of 'possibly' 

only. 

 MAYBE is MAYBE, it is not a yes or no.

Sincerely,

Angeles
