close up of hans hartung's T. 1966-R.4

winterbreak 2010/11 is over, and thus i have returned to india for what will be the last time in a while. it's exciting, it's worrying, it's nostalgia-inducing, it's sunny, it's disorientating and school started today.

hans hartung, T. 1966-R. 4

busy with piles of ib coursework, laundry and social 'obligations', it's incredible how fast the time here at a uwc has gone. i feel changed, static, tired, a mixingmeltingpot of fears and hopes and thoughts and loves.

last term, i went to see the dalai lama talk at a peace festival in pune, celebrated ganpati (honouring ganesha and throwing red powder at eachother) and diwali (the festival of light), made another art installation and traveled the south of india. i've been home too, and i'm trying to remember to keep dreaming.

we went to paris, where these art photos are from, and spent time in france, during which i finally started my ee properly. at home, i did the new year dive for the third time, and got interviewed by a chinese radio as they spotted my chinese heritage. after brief visits to the museum, town, library and friends, i was back on a plane out.

i ran into an italian friend from school on the plane, and am now working my way through the things i need to do. hopefully, i'll have pictures of traveling/art/campus soon, so this blog will be kept a little more up to date.

here's to one more term of writing in indian ink!
