Item #3
- Title:I See Skies of Blue
- Item Synopsis / Program Notes:
“I see Skies of Blue” is a postmodern metaphor that contemplates the incredulity of our belief in the best of times in which we now live, with its prescriptive rules and conventional behavioral patterns. People define their existence and accommodate these social orders by seeing them as an act of embracing skies of blue and clouds of white. Indeed, it’s a wonderful world with both light and darkness. In today’s age of manifestation, people rise and fight though their attempts at resistances are as futile as throwing straws against the wind, yet dreaming of hope is an elegy for life.
