Life is a bit funny sometimes. Things could be going great for you and everyday is surely a breeze but a sudden turn of events could lure you into a fucking roadblock. If it's not you making the wrong turn, it's the road that's gonna fool you until you realize that the shitty crap you've been trying to avoid has found you.
This is the case of Lirio Salvador who was given a grant to study abroad but met an accident on December 30. He is still, as we speak, in intensive care unit. I've read the news on paper and read more on the Internet and feel all the sympathy for a talented artist whose bright future has ran out of power.
It's a terrible and worse situation to be in. It feels as though life has cheated you by someone else's recklessness. As much as I don't want to view this in the light of cause and effect, things like these are beyond control.
There's probably so much going on his head right now, if there's no hatred felt for what has happened. I am greatly reminded of my favorite The Diving Bell and the Butterfly story and the huge effort needed for this tragedy to move forward to full recovery.
He made steel beautiful although I'm not even sure about the material. If I could become his apprentice and make art like this, I feel I'd be giving myself and the earth another chance to live again.
I send my prayers to this artist. Please get well soon.
