esisto così come sono?
est-ce que j’existe telle que je suis?
¿existo tal como soy?
eu existo do jeito que sou?
czy istnieję taka, jaka jestem?
существую ли я такой, какая я есть?
क्या मैं वैसी ही मौजूद हूँ जैसी मैं हूँ?
besta ik zoals ik ben?


this painting was not only a key moment in my series
it was also a key moment in my life
by painting i answered the question myself:
do i exist the way i am?
the answer was very clear
i don’t!
or better now: i didn’t!
i decided to stop this silly story right then and there
so i let go of everything that blocked
the existence of me
and i walk, trembling on a different path now
okay, it seems so simple writing it down — it isn’t, and you know it
but i am certain about one thing: if i could do it, you can too …
do you dare answer the question?
love&light, barbara
