Roland Carter - Etamos 2024 What has to be made has to be made; we can die plenty of times when we are alive. The circles represent these lives and ways to renew our soul. The idea of physical death is completion. I advise you not to hide your feelings. Don’t pretend to be okay when you’re not okay, and don’t pretend to be happy when you’re sad. It’ll only lead to your misery.
This colorful and vibrant painting narrates a tale of both negative and positive experiences woven into the fabric of life. At its heart lies the depiction of a baby in the womb, symbolizing our entry into the world—a journey that can often be fraught with trauma from the outset. The interplay of green and red dots signifies the passage of time, with red denoting years marked by pain, and green representing healing and growth. These hues are influenced by the decisions we make, depicted as stripes, and the people we encounter, embodied by small black figures. This narrative is rooted in the concept of the "longbody," a Native American philosophy that encompasses the interconnectedness of our individual bodies with the broader biological and social ecosystems. Central to the painting is the representation of social behavior emanating from the body, facilitated by mirror neurons—a phenomenon likened to a dragon, capable of wreaking havoc if left unaddressed. This dragon embodies the potential for trauma, which, if not confronted, can insidiously manifest as illness over time. Childhood trauma, in particular, is highlighted as having profound and enduring effects, shaping one's adult experiences and relationships. Yet, the painting offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that even deeply rooted traumas can be overcome through intentional healing and connection with others. Ultimately, "Journey Through the Longbody" prompts contemplation of existential questions: Why do we possess nervous systems, and how do they shape our experiences? Are we, as humans, navigating an environment that feels alien or disconnected from our innate rhythms? Where does the boundary of the human body truly lie, and how does it intersect with the world around us? What is trauma, and how can we release its grip on our lives, fostering healing and resilience? Through its rich symbolism and thought-provoking narrative, the painting invites viewers to explore the complexities of existence and the potential for transformation amidst adversity.
