The Back of Me

Hoya works at St Francis and this neighborhood is a random, quiet neighborhood behind the hospital. It seemed like it was not a neighborhood because it had so many hills and often at the top of the hill we’ll see peak of the south tulsa; there was a river & trail bottom of the road of the neighborhood, dogs off the leash were hanging around the road… I found a random land patch that was not a property and had the trees with greenery grown over the tree trunks. When I do vintage shopping I don’t know why but I’ve been purchasing these handmade fabric hangers (Are they what they’re called?) and brought one for this look. The two piece is my own design preparing for yubiboutique, even the fabric is vintage! (found it in Vintage mall at Valley, Alabama).

“그래서 어쩌면 ‘뒷모습’은 여기서 그 참다운 비밀을 드러내는지도 모른다. 그 빈약함 때문에 오히려 효과적이고, 간결해서 오히려 웅변적이고, 약점이 강점이 된다. 등이 말을 한다. 그러나 반만, 사 분의 일만, 들릴 듯 말 듯한 목소리로 말한다. 여기는 생략, 은연중의 말, 빗대어 하는 말, 암시의 세계다.”

-미셸 투르니에, <뒷모습>, 2002

“So somebody’s back reveals the actual truth we always seek in an existence. It seems weak, powerless- however because of such weariness it draws another new form of power that is efficient, simple, and strong in deliverance. Yes. The weakness becomes the actual strength. Somebody’s back will speak. In a very soft, wobbly voice… in such metaphors that only a few may understand. It draws the audience to another world that is hidden.”

PS. Thanks to Hoya being outside with me when the sun was the highest💙
