'"Paper boats forever"' (100 x100 cm) Oil on canvas, by Erik Pevernagie xx "Paper Boats Forever" represents a young lady lying back, dreaming away with paper boats in her mind. Artists are good watchers of our society. They point out that some details in our lives can be significant for our existence. Those details, which might seem insignificant, can become vital leitmotifs in a person's life. They may have the value of "Rosebuds" by Citizen Kane, "Madeleine Cookies" by French author Marcel Proust, or "Strawberry Fields" by the Beatles. People regularly walk down the memory lane of their early youth. The paper boats of their childhood are recurrently floating on the waves of their mind, bringing back the mood and spirit of the early days. They enable us to retreat from trivial, daily worries and generate delightful bliss and pure joy in a sometimes frantic and chaotic life. Cherishing the sweet reminiscence of the early hours of life can be experienced as enchantment: Those hours when fantasy gets wings and imagination allows us to sail with our paper boats through the stern roads of our constricted lives. The day we are jettisoned back to the spring of our lives can be disorienting and emotionally challenging. By navigating the transformational milestones, a mental spark can discharge a fulguration in our memory and provoke confusion of existential questions about the nature of our identity, personal growth, and time perception. Letting go of attachments to material possessions, relationships, or past experiences that stifle or no longer serve us can be liberating and allow us to move forward with our lives. When we contain our 'loss aversion,' we learn to bounce back from setbacks and master the qualities for navigating life's challenges. We can convert the terror of loss aversion into a mindset leading to greater freedom and personal empowerment.
