More than Walls

Walls.
To some, they exist to create a sense of boundaries.
To some, they can be blank pieces of canvas to be filled with works of arts.

Just 15 years ago, I used to decorate my walls in my bedroom with super tacky posters. Alright, I know "15 years" is not "just" anymore! But it does feel like yesterday .. OK. I lied. It feels like donkey years ago. The years in between must have been too awesome that the past seems so far away.

I can't believe I used to have posters of artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Thinking about it now makes me cringe. Hmm ... what else did I have? After I came to Singapore, I think there were some movie posters. Then, my choices evolved to some motivational pieces. One of them stuck on the common fridge now. Oops. And now I downgraded to simply a post card. This one. (And it will be so obvious why it is there once you noticed whose words they belong to .....)


Now, wall art is not just limited to wall paper and posters anymore. They are not just to decorate but it can also use to make a statement such as the following one that I adore. Spotted at Salvador Dali - Mind of A Genius Exhibition at ArtScience Museum, Singapore. Imagine putting that on your front door! :p


I wonder if I have the choice, what will I do with my wall? I think I will get one super big painting that bamboozle the mind. Frida? Too depressive. Dali? Too exciting. Or better still, I will get a very big screen then when I feel like it, I will change what is being shown. (But that's so not "green". I may die from all the invisible emissions) -_-" Bleah ...

Enough of dreaming about walls. I wonder why there's even a need for a wall. No walls. Just a splendid view of something like this will be awesome. Merci.


How about you? What will you choose to be on your wall?
