» an introduction to venus

venus is a person which is me but it's not. i can't explain it. it's another person but me at the same time. what i want to create with this person, is another me.

venus is a sad person. so as ash. ash has been struggling with things she won't talk about. ash has been okay these past six months. but not so okay. she became more sad everyday. it's like a cycle. she's really sad, gets better and then she's sad again. ash wants to stop this cycle. the point she wants to do with this is the next thing:

venus is a person who will take all the sadness from ash and transform it to art. sadness will go away at some point and it will go away, hopefully for a very long time. maybe not, who knows.

ash has created this to take some pain away. and when ash gets better she will set venus free. she will go up to the space and will be admired just like the venus sculpture. it will be there. people will see this and they will see it's not worth it to feel like that. so they will see all the mistakes she shouldn't have done. people will stand up for themselves and for others too. ash can't really explain this, it's complicated for people's eyes and minds. only her complicated mind can understand all this mess.

and she guesses this is the whole point,

people will actually understand this.
they will understand why this will be called art.
at the end, this won't be the famous sculpture or planet.
it will be something,
and something is always art.
