My Story of Eliza Pareńska（short ver.）

From Kraków to Kielce

Traveled for 2 hours

Only for one painting;

"Portrait of Eliza Pareńska"
(1905／by Stanisław Wyspiański)

――――――――

But

I'm still unsure which I'm attracted to more

this painting itself
or
this enigmatic relationship between;

Eliza's short turbulent life (ended in suicide)
&
Eliza's remaining alluring painting

Or, relationship between

Ephemeral
&
Eternal

Death
&
Beauty

Life
&
Art

Only geranium
.......the metal-like name of this flower.......
is blooming both

here
&
there

――――――――

One sunny autumn morning

I visited her tomb in Kraków

"........She never imagined
after +100 years
someone from the Far East visited her"

"After many years,
........in the memory........,
everything looks blurred"

"After many years,
........in the dream........,
nobody knows what is
ephemeral, eternal, or the beauty"

"Rest in peace
to your ephemeral soul"

"Rest in peace
to your eternal soul"
