JM ID : Chaos photo folio concept photos
He showed me all the stars.
Lyrics are in female but I kind of think they are somewhat appropriate here, so I changed them. Sue me (actually don’t, I can’t afford it).
We definitely have Artemis intertwined in JM’s concept. Chaos too.
I still think we need to wait and see the end result. Those masks they still do remind me the Jackalope A LOT. I need to see how it all connects.
Until today, when the actual book cover was revealed what we got was dark and mysterious and perhaps the contrast between perceived good/pure and perceived evil/sinful with the white and black.
This caught me off guard.
The colours? Where do they fit in? How do they connect with the black and white we saw so far? Another side to JM we’ll be getting to see?
The pink and blueish purple. First thing that popped into my mind was the Bisexual flag colours. Pink blue and purple.
Or the Bigender flags/colours.
Then we have the Love and 1981 on his T shirt. The colours of the stripes are hard to identify. The T shirt could mean nothing, but for some reason I believe that nothing JM does, in a project such as this, is meaningless. So I was thinking: why is 1981 significant? And what does it have to do with love?
HIV was first identified in 1981. The illness that was stamped as the ‘gay epidemic’. An epidemic that on the one hand vilified the LGBTQ+ community, but on the other hand served as a catalyst to push forward LGBTQIA+ rights and the Pride movement in many countries around the world.
And I did go looking for other important events, including in SK happening that year. 1981 was the first year of the fifth republic in SK. Also the year that martial law was uplifted in SK. So, relatively important, yes, but is it connected to the Love on the T shirt?
My gut says it’s not about that.
Could be something else. I could be totally utterly wrong. But it is kind of a coincidence.
And do we talk about the wings?
Is that JK’s fallen angel?
This is JM showing us himself. Sides we haven’t seen just yet, or at least not as clearly as he is showing them to us right now.
And I can’t help but think how very brave JM is for doing that. Opening himself up to us the way he is.
He is showing us this knowing there are very ugly sided to Army that will at the very least frown upon this or even slam him for it. And we know there are many that will do much worse than show their displeasure ever so civilly. Let’s be honest. We know who they are. We know how ugly this is going to get. And I think I can rather confidently say that JM knows too.
He is showing us this knowing, at this time in space, that his enlistment is approaching real fast. At this point in time enlistment is imminent. Exemptions are seeming less and less an option.
And I love him even more for it.
We also got the little crowns with JM’s book, to compliment JK’s moon cycle, perhaps? Do we have some ‘You are me I am you” going on here maybe?
Do we talk about this too?
The similarity in the vibe? Two super talented artists with two totally different concepts. And yet, the end result has so many similarities, like they fit together so easily. More of the ‘You are me I am you’ going on here, eh?
Oh, and btw, has anyone noticed this:
