DESTRUCTION IS A FORM OF CREATION!


Destruction is a form of creation

Like in the novel “the destructors” by Graham Greene, the kids broke into the house and found a huge amount of money but they burned it which clearly signifies that they weren’t interested in money. Them burning the money signifies that they were different from everyone, they wanted to change the world so instead of doing what anyone might had done they destroyed it to see what happens when the sky opens up and the world falls apart. Many of us might take this act as an unwise or outrageous feat but some (including me) think that they are believers and hold the competence to make decisions which are not a cup of tea for anyone, it takes guts to walk on paths on which no one has ever walked. They are one of those who believe that “destruction is a form of creation”. Inspired by the novel, it became inevitable for me not to destruct something close to me. I had to do it to know how it feels. I am big fan of “Emma Stone”, so I made a sketch of her about two months ago which took me about four-five hours. Most of my friends didn’t recognize her by my sketch but I didn’t mind at all as I wanted to put my affection towards her into something positive and I wanted to feel that dedication an artist puts into sketching (losing oneself completely into something). I kept her with me for about a month, she was on my wall and I used to talk to her everyday but after one month I gifted the sketch to my sister and she happily accepted it. Today, I burned her on my house’s roof and filmed the whole act. Right after it, I felt kind of relieved of the attraction I have towards her but now I am more attracted towards her as in now I don’t need a sketch of her to talk to, I can feel her closer to me and it makes me more alive, sometimes I can even hear her voice, she whispers in my ears. Destructing her sketch has led to the creation of intense fondness towards her. Burning her sketch has changed things. Things will never be the same…..
