Qualia

“Mum, you look strange with that snail on your face”

Sensory experiences have distinctive subjective qualities before being connected to meaning or external reference, for example the sting of a needle or the smell of the sea.

The term Qualia (Latin, qualis ‘of what sort’) is used to describe properties of experiences in respect to manner, colour, sound, smell, action, state or intensity and is virtually synonymous with sense data.

i told my wishes to the wind

for he knows no weight

he sang as he left

i showed my fears to my children

for only they can fully see

they smiled as they went on

i wrote my secrets in the water

for the daylight cannot enter

the sea

i formed two statues. one woman made of gold and one made of ice, with water flowing from her mouth, lots of water. they stood opposite each other so that the water from the ice woman flowed over the gold woman.

When I left the house, all corridors became filled with gold coins.

for how long can you maintain your unbroken self in mind? (works in progress – videodiary)

when was the last time you’ve sent a postcard to your closest ones?

spread some love and good vibes with this carefully crafted set of 6 postcards from my series “simple poetry mirror”.

15.-

because small things matter ♥

“simple poetry mirror” is a series of short poems that can be read in both directions, through the mirror. They emphasise the liberation in perspective and subtly shift passive into active connotations.

by purchasing this set of postcards you are supporting my current project “Qualia”.
