Sometimes I wish my life was like a secret getaway of some sort, a stealaway in the middle of the night. A little campfire with flickering lights, thats what I want to look into and ponder about life and the passing days. Secrecy is always intimate, it is a part of us that we choose not to reveal to many, but to select few - the special ones that we hope and dream of as permanent beings in these getaways. Many nights, I look into the night sky when I’m alone, thinking to myself, how amazing it would be to simply drift away, unknown to the world at large. I silently wished to be lost. It is in being lost, that one can get a chance to change everything all over again. Perhaps, constant change is the only true answer to living a life that is truly free. And I can’t describe how much I yearn for this freedom. Photo Credit: Camping Trip by Ville Assinen

Illustrated by Amy Goh, my friend in Montreal, illustrator and mythmaker. Amy takes the World of Julius Truffles and dissects its multifaceted layers of meaning (of Creation and destruction) and re-expresses them alongside her own aesthetics and beliefs - motif-weaving and celestial harmonizing. In this piece, the tensions in the living world are a result of our disharmonzing mode of operation. We are often led by our desires and aspirations, taking foreceful and destructive routes to achieve them. Yet if we took a step back to observe the world, we will realize that reality is as much ideological as it is physical. We can find our way if we intuitively knew that everything happens for a reason. In this revised World of Julius Truffles, the world is depicted as a place and space we need to work with - absorbing and giving back - to create our ideological and physical environment. The centrality of this piece highlights the Julius Truffles Volcano as the core through which which the rest of the universe functions and which without the universe, could not be embedded by itself. When all things work in tandem with one another, the clockwork of the world will help you find your place and time - and there will be less displacement and destruction in the pursuit of our dreams. Several motifs underly this drawing, likewise: the apple, Medusa’s snake-hair, the serpant, the cavern of underground (incubating) moons. Destruction and creation are cycilical. The overflowing of liquid from the vessel’s mouth (she who, in turn, resembles a rock-face, or part of the natural land face) suggests that it is adhering with the processes of nature that we get wthe object of our desire - entry into the circular celestial realm of the Gods via the forbidden apple. As you close your eyes and dream away tonight, always remember that everything in life has its place and time. When you find the clues littered in the spaces of your life, dont be afraid to imbue meanings and define yourself in this celestial realm.
