drawing challenge 9/11



i was sitting at my table, blanco sheet of paper before me and i couldn't draw a thing.
thinking of the cruelty , the chaos, the pain, the fear, the madness, the despair, the helplessness, everytime i put my pencil to the paper i stopped and feelings of deep grief came over me, i sat there for quite some time, i always thought i was able to draw everything.....

later that day i wrote 'i love you's',
so many people in the towers and their loved ones in the outside world were saying i love you to each other
you may find it strange maybe, but that makes it somehow bearable for me to think of 9/11




This weeks drawing challenge is hosted by Jasmin on her great Jazzy Two Shoes blog.

Wishing you all a peacefull weekend, x

  1. Dear Renilde,
    your art-work is very touching!
    How often was said 'I love you!'? All the people facing the death knew what's really important in life: Love.

    Thank you very much.
    Love,
    Ariane.

  2. Mixed media. Always evolving.

    The "I love you's" are perfect.

    Thank you.

  4. talkin' 'bout a challenge, and in total respect for the victims...
    i love the patchwork effect. it is powerful, the soft colours are perfect against the roughness of stone...
    the making-of behind your work is terribly moving, human.

    I found it hard to draw too...
    These images are very effective.
    The whispered words fallen on the hard stone.

  9. This is a indeed a beautiful expression of your feelings on such a sad day - and a great tribute to those who were lost. The people may be gone, but the "I love you"s will last forever. If we were to build a tower out of all the times we say those three words, it would be indestructible.
