Dimensional Illusion: A Poem by Ross Smirnoff
Into the window I stare and gaze into the sun.
I am nervous about the future but optimistic about life.
I've been allowed to live today.
When it can easily be plucked from me at any time.
There are greater mysteries at work.
I hold on to the hope that I have a purpose in life.
If only the void will show me the way, and rip through this dimensional illusion.
I am nervous about the future but optimistic about life.
I've been allowed to live today.
When it can easily be plucked from me at any time.
There are greater mysteries at work.
I hold on to the hope that I have a purpose in life.
If only the void will show me the way, and rip through this dimensional illusion.

Cave of Existence: A Poem by Ross Smirnoff
We would rather stare at each other through the mirrored glass.
A sign of our modern age disconnection from reality.
My heart is darkened by broken hope.
Temporary moments are washed in a bath of poison broth.
Yellow damp skin is unwoven by seething heat.
Bones harden into desperate cries of echoed dreams in the cave of existence.
A sign of our modern age disconnection from reality.
My heart is darkened by broken hope.
Temporary moments are washed in a bath of poison broth.
Yellow damp skin is unwoven by seething heat.
Bones harden into desperate cries of echoed dreams in the cave of existence.

Basquiat, An American Icon
Basquiat, the first movie directed by American artist and now filmmaker
Julian Schnabel, came out in 1996. Before this film, Jean
Michel-Basquiat was still an insider art world artist. It is my belief
that his art has reached a wider audience because of this film. When I
first saw Basquiat at a summer art program at RISD in 1999, I was
taking classes in Graphic Design, trying to imagine myself on a career
art track. Seeing it, I was inspired to want to create art for
personal expression instead of commercial enterprise. It encapsulated the highs and lows of the 80's art world with amazing
performances by Jeffery Wright, Gary Oldman, David Bowie, and more.
