The Limbo Combo

The Limbo Combo

Problems right in front of us that cannot be solved immediately—we
push them to the corners of our minds and toss them into the
"temporary jar." The very moment the man drops a colored ball inside,
his consciousness leaps to somewhere far away.

A zeppelin floating in the blue sky, a circus troupe on the flying
trapeze, the ocean, palm trees swaying in the wind, and an armadillo
walking quietly. This space, where utterly unrelated motifs emerge
simultaneously, is the exact landscape inside our brains.

This terracotta jar connects to the far side of oblivion; once a
problem goes inside, it will likely never emerge again.Leaving things untouched—a form of 'active shelving.' In time, the prescription of oblivion will likely solve this difficult problem. The truth is, most problems in life are inherently unsolvable.

In this piece, I humorously depicted the chaotic yet somehow carefree
spiritual world that manifests as a "combo" in our minds the moment we
hide an unresolved reality in a jar and place our thoughts in "limbo."
