ملل
Acrylic • 16x20 cm • 2021
مللتُ.. نفسُ الأيام، ونفسُ الأعمال. كلُّ ما في هذا العالم صورةٌ طبق الأصل من عالمٍ مقلدٍ بعيد.
قررتُ أن أنام اليوم، وأن أحذف كل الساعات من التاريخ، وغداً سأبدأ من جديد وأتأقلم مع الحاضر المقيت.
وضعتُ رأسي على الوسادة واستيقظتُ بعد عام.. حدثتني عائلتي بأنني كنتُ في غيبوبة، فضحكتُ.. ضحكتُ بشدة، وهم مستغربون!
قلتُ لهم: “تخلصتُ من عامٍ كامل، وما زال يحيط بي الملل.. هل من نومٍ أطول يختصر لي هذا الوقت؟”
Boring..
I'm fed up... the same days, the same tasks. Everything in this world is a carbon copy of a distant, imitated world.
I decided to sleep today, to erase all the hours from history, and tomorrow I'll start anew and adapt to this wretched present.
I laid my head on the pillow and woke up after a year. My family told me I'd been in a coma, and I laughed... I laughed heartily, much to their surprise!
I told them: "I got rid of a whole year, and I'm still surrounded by boredom... Is there a longer sleep that can shorten this time for me?"
