  Existential Health Wonder, Self-Acceptance, Purposeful Living The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Creative Piece As a visual expression of this transition to our "second life," an existence stripped of demands and masks, American artist David Best breaks through the usual boundaries of art. His layered, intricate wooden temples are not built to serve as lasting monuments, but to stand as temporary spaces where people can write their deepest losses, guilt, and obsolete roles on the walls. As Best himself notes, it is not about the technical craftsmanship of the structure, but about the space it creates for the human soul to free itself. And even when an installation like this one in the Renwick Gallery is not allowed to be burned on site, the structure is stripped by hand afterward and the written messages taken to the desert to be burned there in silence.

Sy gelaagde, ingewikkelde houttempels word nie gebou om as blywende monumente te dien nie, maar om as tydelike ruimtes te staan waar mense hul diepste verliese, skuldgevoelens en uitgediende rolle teen die mure kan neerskryf.  Soos Best self opmerk, gaan dit nie om die tegniese ambag van die struktuur nie, maar om die ruimte wat dit skep vir die menslike siel om homself te bevry.  En selfs wanneer 'n installasie soos hierdie een in die Renwick-galery nie op die plek verbrand mag word nie, word die struktuur agterna met die hand gestroop en die geskrewe boodskappe na die woestyn geneem om daar in stilte te verbrand. So stroop die vlamme en die ruimtes al...

Verwarring Op Die Reis ”As iemand na My toe kom, kan hy nie my dissipel wees nie tensy hy afstand doen van sy eie vader en moeder en vrou en kinders en broers en susters, ja, selfs van sy eie lewe.

Wees net regtig jy. Al ons liefde George & Matilda
