Description
*in pitch dark i go walking in your landscape.
broken branches trip me as i speak.
just because you feel it doesnt mean it's there.
just because you feel it doesnt mean it's there.
there's always a siren
singing you to shipwreck.
(don't reach out, don't reach out)
steer away from these rocks
we'd be a walking disaster.
(don't reach out, don't reach out)
just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there.
(there's someone on your shoulder)
just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there.
(there's someone on your shoulder)
there there
why so green and lonely?
heaven sent you to me.
we are accidents
waiting waiting to happen.
we are accidents
waiting waiting to happen.*
Radiohead, "There There", From album "Hail To the Thief"

Photoshop, 4 layers, 40 minutes work (but 6 failed trials before this came out ;)) from these pictures of mine
--------------------
So, for once I wanted to try something dark ;). Not really fitting my way to be, or my days now, but a sense of living that was deeply, so deeply mine by time of my teenager days. Years after, even trying to catch always the bright side in life, I still walkin aware in the world because I know what means to suffer and to be scared for real, since my VERY first day here, I did feel landed and lonely. Then love reached me out, still, in so many ways.
Growin means also to accept without drama the darker side of life. Knowing we're stronger, always stronger than it.
The piece is also an homage to the awesome UK band Radiohead, whose fabulous gig I attended this past July 9th in Florence. An experience that I wish to you all to live as soon as possible.
Their songs are way more than words (or this image) could describe.
Enjoy you all (though it feels strange to say so for such an image ;)) and see you on Monday... I will attend a new marriage, and having a great weekend in Rome. CU in three days! :)

wowwwwwww you scare me with your demoniac look ^:^
It looks quite sinister :) The low brightness, high contrast and some distortion of colors make the picture creepy; the dancing demons and your siren-like stare suggest merry-making, but in a fiendish way... Very impressive.
Well I think it would have looked better if you added an evil glint to the eyes. :) Hugs ~Z~
This is a very profound image Meli. It really speaks to the darker part of us and teaches us to embrace it...we do not need to take part in it to know it is a part of us, but we must acknowledge it is there and can teach us something.. I know that there are things in my life that I wish right now I had never done, but I also know that they have played a part in molding me to be a better person. Your insight through this amazing image is indeed life changing...if we allow it to be. Excellent blending of the photos and colors. Have a great day!...Cheryl

Interesting that your demons be green... mine are black.
Impressive and brilliant artwok ! Fabulous colors and scarry atmosphere. Wonderfully done !
Demon, from the greek daimon, indicates originally the genius inside human beings. Many creatures looking like Melania live inside Melania's psyche and body, giving advices and warnings, talking and playing with her. This image is a rare and true example of a dialogue and choreography maintained between Melania and these creatures of her mind.
amazing and beautiful my friend.
I always love the experience of viewing your work and reading your words....it encompasses me, somehow.
the dark side of you ???...impossible to say that in my oppinion...It doesn't go with you:( anytime...you should make a light side of you ASP Meli :) but I like your way of PS...
This is an eye-arresting and hypnotic piece! I loove this piece(and the song)!
molto mistica e ben fatta mi piacciono tanto i colori non c'e` demone ma mistero astratto...
WOW....totally awesome!!! Looks as if you hand painted this...:):)
Gallimel...this is so awesome! It makes me think of the sixties...of LSD..acid trips..and it is very well done!! Excellent work my friend!
its wonderful that you use your own photos, that look its amazing
I like the feeling that you deliver -- being in a dark mood lately - but smiling all the while - fighting internally - just not to show, it brought a smile to my face to see this image - not because I was pleased to see it, but because it is a secret fight we all share, and in that sharing we find our humanity. Glad you shared your image with us - as always -- it is wonderful!
Everyone has got a dark side, sometimes it is eats you up and sometimes it is just "sleeping". Most of us try to work it out and look for the bright side. But keep it down is depending on the own strenght and also on friends or lovers. Glad you're such a strong girl, strong enough to work it out and even to share the bright side. Thanks for posting this fantastic piece of art, Dear! And enjoy Rome!
This really is a fantastic, magical piece of art.
Radiohead,one of my fav. bands with a profound lyrics and you with a impressive artwork.--Thank you meli--..[Excellent DONE!].
