JOSEPH FELIX D'SOUZA
As the outpouring begins on the surface, shapes take their respective places. Tremendous movement births, Cluster of line come together along with masses and some places counter lines form.
The impulse to dig in for atmosphere, feelings, expressions, and ….dialogue begins. It pierces through the physique, searching the hearts, minds, thoughts and attitudes.
It captures the vibrations as a whole & tries to establish it outside the surfaces….. With lasting impressions into the hearts, souls, bodies……. Atmosphere….. For betterment …. I am done!
