Description

I will keep this lonely room
Empty for you, empty for you.
I will leave everything
Unchanged, unaffected.
Everything will stay the same,
Nothing’s ever gonna change.

Forever, I will keep this room
Empty for you, empty for you.
I will leave the streetlights on,
Shining for you, shining for you.
I will sing the songs we knew
Just to feel close to you.

I’ll write your name
In my sacred scripture,
As if you were still
A part of the picture.

I’ve seen the picture on the wall
Falling down on the floor,
Breaking into a thousand pieces
Near my feet, and I bleed.
Gluing back the picture frame,
Putting it back on the nail on the wall.

I will keep my heart undressed,
Open for you, open for you,
The empty space which you left
In my chest, in my chest,
And I will sing the songs we knew
Just to feel close to you.


[ Room – Eivør ]


According to my Tumblr archive, today it’s four years I’ve been obsessing over a certain something. While listening to this song again after some time, I realised how perfectly (albeit unwittingly) it suits my mindset. But well, few things can compare to a dream, can they?
Yep, in case you’re wondering, this is a very personal, meaningful photo to me.

This work is a conceptual piece that reflects the author's soul, his inner search, his dreams, hopes and his world to create, draw and fill. He needs to empty the space from what's old and bring in something new: something is ancient and precious and will be kept, while what is broken and worthless will be shed.
There is a careful choice of colours and light, with the warmth of wood enhanced by the vintage filter and a sort of penumbra which isn't downright darkness and emphasises the sense of emptiness in the room.
Congratulations for the artistic choices, which really help the concept flow through.
