Painters, Sketchers, Photographers have an Eye for Obvious Profundity
There are two communities here at Vocal that appeal to me that I haven't submitted to yet: Art and Photography. Now with this submission, I've got one in Art. Yet for my "image" I've used a photograph that I took. Why not a painting or a sketch? Would that have been better? I decided to go with this photograph because I haven't shared this photograph yet, while most of my paintings and sketches have been shared online because once I'm finished painting or sketching, I'm quick to share it out of pride for the creation. Do you like the photograph above? Why or why not? I wish you would comment on it. I can tell you more about it. I took the shot at a weird angle as you can notice. Why? It was the only way to get the Palm tree and the hammock inside the frame and I felt that the message I wanted to convey with the photograph made it essential that both the tree and hammock were shown. Does that change your impression of the photo - knowing why I angled it that way?

The Man Who Waited by the Bridge
It always starts with rain. Berlin has a strange relationship with it — the way the droplets cling to iron bridges and roll down the glass facades of cafés. On nights like this, the city feels suspended between memory and dream.

🔥 A Match Made in Heaven
We live in a world where sexuality has been distorted, shamed, monetized, and misused – and then handed back to us in pieces.

“Art’s Not a Real Job,” He Said.
Let me tell you what a “real job” is. A real job is dying in an office. A real job is building someone else’s empire while your soul goes numb.

Whispers of the Forgotten City
There’s a city I’ve always wanted to visit. Not the flashy skyscrapers of New York or the ancient ruins of Rome, but a place that whispers, barely noticeable, to anyone who’s not paying attention.

WOMB HEALING SPELL
Speak aloud under moonlight, candlelight, or in the quiet of your sacred space. I call back my womb. I call back her voice, her visions, her heat.

The Evening That Never Spoke — A Night in New York
It was one of those New York evenings when the rain doesn’t pour — it whispers. The kind of rain that glides across glass windows, clings to streetlights, and turns every reflection into a memory you didn’t know you had.
