  • ALIVE ~ A Photopoem ~ 🌻 Day by day we learn To see life To accept Day by day We choose to be alive. 🌻 re-edit 2020 © photography and poem by Daciana Lipai #thephotopoetrybook #photopoem #photopoetry 🌻 Almost all the images I plan and execute alone, but when I created this image I had my husband as an assistant. I had him hold a transparent plexiglass and spring the water behind it. We had a short time window at the sunset. The flowers are Alliums from our small garden in front of the house. From far this is my favorite image from this series, I love the poem, the colors, the tones, the texture, the concept. But what makes it special in my heart is how I felt making it and the message that encapsulates. After losing my grandfather, I couldn’t understand how the heart can heal. I felt a big void in my heart. How can someone laugh again, have fun, or be happy, without feeling guilty, when they’ve lost the most important person from their life? For me, laughing or having fun meant that I have forgotten him, and did not love him enough, or anymore. How should one live when all that he knows it’s turned upside- down?! At that time I was really confused, alone and broken. I search constantly for answers. Nothing made sense anymore. How do you learn to live again? When you lose someone you love, everything that the person represented to you is questioned. Every emotion, at the same intensity, feels lost. Everything is being replaced with a big sadness in your heart, a constant pain, like a stab in the chest, that doctors can’t explain. For me, my grandfather represented my whole world. My life. My security. Home. Love. People said, this is life, I should forget, and move on. The truth is, I never could. When I embrace silence, my heart started to heal, by growing love, stronger, more, and more. This could be the most important lesson I’ve learned from the project. I had to find a place in my heart, where he’ll live as long as I am alive. Thant made me whole again. It is a place of great love, that nobody can take away. It was only when I started looking inside myself for answers I started to find comfort. This is why I started creative again.
  • EXIST ~ A Photopoem ~ 🌻 And I exist only in the world Created in the breath Between you and me 🌻 re-edit 2020 © photography and poem by Daciana Lipai #thephotopoetrybook #photopoem #photopoetry 🌻 I don’t know exactly why, but the lockdown experience left me with the feeling of a broken world. It’s like everyone was passionate, optimistic, happy, successful, and joyful when the curtain went down. A new world, real, broken, is revealed. Suddenly, we have to heal the wounds, that we didn’t know existed. Me, I’ve put everything I’ve believed in under a question mark and really started to think about my values, and what really matters to me. How fake is the world? I already left all the stones behind, thinking all my wounds are scars now. After losing what I held dear in my heart, I had to learn to laugh again, to live again, to love again. These darker days invite us all to a close look, to deep meditation, on life and death. We see our nothingness. We see our vulnerability. But do we really see who we are? It is a time to go inwards to clean all the wounds and brokenness from our hearts, of unopened feelings. We need time to grow emotionally. What is my legacy? What world am I leaving behind? The quiet darkness of self-isolation mirrors the deep truth about the world. Is it a time where everything ends or is it the beginning of all things. I think we should all take a second look and this world and ask, what is the essence. What is my contribution to this world? Moving forward into our dark richness, the endless rivers of fear and grief start to reveal a broken world. We have to let go of the blinders. It’s time to feel. It’s time to see. It’s time to heal. This is a lesson. A reminder. We have to turn this into medicine for ourselves. For our soul. We have to learn to turn fear into love, grief into joy. We need to grow this world into love. 🌻 #fineartphotography #creativewriting #conceptualphotography #poetrytribe #poetryforthesoul #photopoet #limitededitionprints #newcontemporaryart #createmagazine #authorsofinstagram #originalphotography #isolation #conceptualartist #NavigatingSelfIsolation #igpoetry #poetsofig #instapoetry
  • DELICATE ~ A Photopoem ~ 🌻 re-edit 2020 © photography and poem by Daciana Lipai #thephotopoetrybook #photopoem #photopoetry 🌻 We step on a delicate world Painted with immaculate nuances Kept with translucent words 🌻 Is the quarantine time making you feel more invisible? Even though the lockdown is starting to end, and we can leave the house with some restrictions, I still feel the insecurity, the coldness, the distance, the frustration, the fear, the anxiety, the anger. The distance has somehow sneaked in ourselves and our minds. As I am experiencing the lockdown in Spain, far away from my country and my home, I feel very distant and cold, and honestly, because I don’t speak Spanish, I don’t understand much what is happening. So many times we make sense of life how we want, filling the gaps as we pleased and with how it makes us feel safer. From our belief system, what we believe to be the truth. How do you recognize the truth? Being lockdown inside I worked a lot on my art. I find out that I have many projects that I am working on, which I started some time ago, but put aside, and never giving me the time to finish them. Forcing myself to finish the projects, I realized I have to choose a direction. This is even tougher when all the world it’s unstable and insecure. For this, I had to confront myself. Recognize myself. Figure out who I am and where I am going with my art. Do you feel the words are more and more translucent? It’s a strange coldness in the words and a lack of essence that I feel. Even the words seem to be now translucent, as they lack form and essence. We don’t stop to think about the meaning of the words anymore. We don’t stop to think about the essence of life anymore. It is really hard these days to form an opinion, to have strong beliefs, and to express them. 🌻 🌻 🌻 #fineartphotography #creativewriting #conceptualphotography #poetrytribe #poetryforthesoul #photopoet #limitededitionprints #newcontemporaryart #createmagazine #authorsofinstagram #originalphotography #isolation #conceptualartist #NavigatingSelfIsolation #poetryinquarantine #napowrimo2020 #poemoftheday #igpoetry
  • TIRED ~ A Photopoem ~ 🌻 Playing life We all get tired 🌻 re-edit 2020 © photography and poem by Daciana Lipai #thephotopoetrybook #photopoem #photopoetry 🌻 This is one of my favorite images from my 2016 photopoetry project. I decided to re-edit it, although initially, I thought it’s well-edited. But I see there is always room for improvement. One of the main themes of my project is grief and death, as I had to slowly overcome all the losses in my life. The biggest struggle in my dark days was to stay motivated, to always find the strength to move forward. How do you ignore all noise and stay motivated? It looks like a meditation on death. It reminds us we are not eternal in this word. It reminds us one day we will have to leave for eternity. I see it as a constant reminder of the afterlife, I think of eternity, and not least, it’s a powerful reminder to live in the present moment, fully and truly, with the fact, that we are not eternal in this world. We have to live beautiful, joyful, and full-hearted. How do you find hope in this broken world? Nowadays, it seems all the world has turned upside down, and we can feel pretty quick un-motivated in a world that lost its essence. It can be so tiring to always try to find a meaning to fight when the whole world seems to be meaningless. We feel so tired of running, and pretending. How do you find the strength to move on when all the world seems to move against you? 🌻 🌻 🌻 #fineartphotography #creativewriting #conceptualphotography #poetrytribe #poetryforthesoul #photopoet #limitededitionprints #newcontemporaryart #createmagazine #authorsofinstagram #originalphotography #isolation #conceptualartist #NavigatingSelfIsolation #poetryinquarantine #napowrimo2020 #poemoftheday #igpoetry #poetsofig #communityofpoets #poetsofinstagram #instapoetry #creativephotography #abstractart
  • (Swipe to see before and after) APART ~ A Photopoem ~ 🌻 Each second We are drifting More and more Apart 🌻 re-edit 2020 © photography and poem by Daciana Lipai #thephotopoetrybook #photopoem #photopoetry 🌻 I see how each day, the lockdown days of quarantine are building a sadder and lonelier world, as we drew more and more apart from each other. Are you going to gain love or fear? Isolation and loneliness force you to introspect and search deep inside for answers. Finding ourselves we will find self-love and resilience. When I arrived in Spain, the loneliest man I know told me: -“You are lonelier than me!” I’ve practiced isolation long before the quarantine started because I’ve long so much for serenity and resilience, I needed to clear my thoughts, searching for peace of mind. Only acknowledging every negative thought you’ll be able to change it and find life’s joy again. I started my photopoetry in 2016, after losing my dear grandfather. The result was 366photopoems. The poetry I wrote was a deep reflection of my emotion and a reflection of my thoughts. I tried to depict the poem into a photograph. It was a good exercise of self-expression, on finding my path to resilience. There are some photopoems which I really love, some that I really don’t believe I wrote them, in some I really love the poem, in others, I really love the photograph. I always wanted to make a selection of my favorite poems and design a small book. I really believe that stories and poetry can break the feeling of loneliness. In my darkest days, I understood that I’m not alone and many are experiencing the same brokenness. What helped me is hearing others speak of their grief. So I want to pass the gift of healing the heart further. On which side will be? How will isolation change you?
  • SUBTLE ~ A Photopoem ~ 🌻 Maybe In my sloppiness I accidentally Touched The subtle string Of the forgotten dream 🌻 re-edit 2020 © photography and poem by Daciana Lipai 🔰 #thephotopoetrybook #photopoem #photopoetry ❤ There will come a time in everyone’s life when we’ll have to confront ourselves. Broken and scared, lost and lonely. We’ll see all the lost time. All the unsaid words. Our ignorance. We step into a surreal world, and realize, maybe our choice was to live in a fantasy world, one that we had built so carefully. A material, so real, so safe world. Even in the hardest times, we will try to find millions of distractions, to look away from the truth. Can we heal our ignorance? Can we still find, in this mad world, who we were supposed to be? Going through an ocean of grief in my life, after losing my loved ones, I was forced to move on, ignore, to forget them, and who I am. Society teaches us to look away from grief, instead of trying to heal our broken heart. Ignoring our negative emotions, we’ll only project them onto someone else. Confused and lonely, we’ll try to forget the ones we love, and build a real dream, like reality, as it’s the only truth. After each moment of suffering and grief, life is a battle to find joy and love, in the present moment, right now, in this broken world. The resilience comes within when we understand who we are, with our deepest beliefs. A constant confrontation with ourselves, our thoughts, our fears, our nothingness. One day we’ll all see the real and the illusory, the truth and the lies. Do we fear to be happy? Do we think we don’t deserve happiness? Between dreams and reality, truth and lies, dark and light, life and death, it’s only a subtle string. 🌻 . . . . . #fineartphotography #creativewriting #conceptualphotography #poetrytribe #poetryforthesoul #photopoet #limitededitionprints #newcontemporaryart #createmagazine #authorsofinstagram #originalphotography #isolation #conceptualartist #NavigatingSelfIsolation #poetryinquarantine #napowrimo2020 #poemoftheday #igpoetry #poetsofig #communityofpoets #poetsofinstagram #instapoetry #creativephotography #abstractart
  • DREAMS - a Photopoem - re-edit 2020 © photography and poem by Daciana Lipai 🌻 Crippled from too many wounds You can only watch Other people live your dreams. 🔰 #ThePhotopoetryBook #Photopoem #Photopoetry #DacianaLipai ❤ I started my photopoetry project trying to discover who I am and what my purpose in my life is. In the actual context of lockdown, I think deep introspection it’s essential in trying to understand yourself when trying to find your path in life. What really helped me is trying to simplify and deconstruct the definitions of my values. Going back to basic needs and defining the really important things that matter to me. Our path in life is also defined by the dreams we have. What are dreams? Society teaches as to make a big list of dreams to follow. This becomes our goal, our path in life. When a dream comes true we realize that we don’t feel as we imagine it to. So we hurry up to follow more dreams. I think we follow dreams because we think that this the path to happiness. What is happiness? In this imposed quarantine time I had to define again, more clear and strong, my definitions of who I am, my path in life, and the essential meaning of my life. What is really important. I think my greatest lesson is that we need a deep introspection to find our values and beliefs. When everything is making our lives more confusing and insecure, we need to have strong opinions and strong ideas. Why do you follow your dreams? You can’t look outside for answers. you need to search deep inside your heart. As we may think to have our dreams comes true will makes us happy I think it’s an illusion. Could it be that dreams are standing in the way of our happiness, always making us chase more dreams and running after more illusions, while we are always blind for what we have and never be truly grateful for what we should? 🐦 . . . #fineartphotography #creativewriting #conceptualphotography #poetrytribe #poetryforthesoul #photopoet #limitededitionprints #newcontemporaryart #createmagazine #authorsofinstagram #originalphotography #isolation #conceptualartist #poetryinquarantine #surrealphotography
  • (Swipe to see before and after) PETALS - a Photopoem - re-edit 2020 © photography and poem by Daciana Lipai 🌻 And you wish Your fears could be As the petals of the blossom trees, All lost softly in the spring. 🌻 #ThePhotopoetryBook #Photopoem #Photopoetry #DacianaLipai Wouldn’t be nice, if we could softly lose all of our fears, in the spring’s soft breeze, just like the trees blossom petals? Our fear will define who we are, what we think, how we see the world, what we’ll do. My greatest fear taking over my life now is that I won’t be able to go home anymore or to see my loved ones. I left my home, coming to Spain to search for a better life, after I went through an ocean of grief, losing so much of my life and of myself. I thought I lost everything. I never considered that one could lose their freedom, safety, inner peace, or opinion. Never, until now, I had the doubt of reaching home. So share with me, my dear friend, what fear did the current situation triggered in your life? Are they real? Are they exaggerated? Can you heal them easily? Are they related to something from the past? How are you overcoming them? 🌻 . . .
