drarry. 302 words. forgive me in advance.

“God Potter, to the left.”

“There?”

“No, uhh, a little more?”

Harry was sweaty. Draco was sweaty. Both of them had patience that was running thin. The sun was setting rapidly and the living room was still littered with half empty boxes.

Draco swore he’d only bring necessities. Apparently that meant everything he owned was necessary.

Harry had no illusion that this would be a painless crusade. Draco was a stubborn, stubborn man. He liked things his way, he liked his tea steeped his way, he liked to go to bed at 9:45pm because it suited his circadian rhythms.

“Do you know your left and rights or is this just an attempt at sabotage?”

Harry shifted the frame just slightly. “There. Straight.”

“No, it isn’t.” Draco was being petulant and Harry was trying not to let it irritate him.

“Yes it is, Draco. Please.”

The stair creaked like Draco was crouching to perch on the edge of a step. “Maybe it was pathetic to think this could work.”

Harry’s neck swung like a whip crack. Throwing in the towel already? Over deciding how to hang a picture frame? Well, he supposed, it’s clearly over more than just that. But Draco was here! Here, in Harry’s space, in their space, so surely half the battle was won?

Draco’s head was sunken between his knees and Harry gently clambered down from the step stool he’d been using.

It was strange, to know someone so well just to have it all thrown into disarray by a closer proximity.

Had it been any other scenario maybe Harry would’ve known what to do. Maybe he wouldn’t have touched Draco with such hesitation and comforted him with a stutter.

“It’s not pathetic to want this to work.”

And all Draco could give back was a watery, tight smile.

Frederik is a Weirdo

One of his customers laughed.

It was a… strange laugh. As if the person didn’t usually do it in the company of others. Or if so, he did not care of their opnion.

It usually meant some kind of trouble.

So Trevor looked around for the person.

And he – or most likely he – already walked over to him.

With a raised brow, he welcomed him to the counter: “Good evening. What can I bring you?”

“I actually know you!” the person says. They are pointing. They are wearing an oversized shirt and baggy pants and they are pointing. “You are the Metatron”

The second eyebrow joined the first: “Trevor Matthews is perfectly acceptable, thank you”

”Sure, sure” the stranger waved, “you’re out there, all in splendor and giving people drinks! So much easier to find!”

“… yes. Yet I must remind you to the one-drink-minimum”

“Oh!” He jammed his hand into the jeans and found a crumpled ten pound note. “Wouldn’t wanna violate any rules in here!” – he slapped the bill on the counter and waved at the bouncers.

“,,, so? What can I bring you?”

“Guinness,” he shrugged, “Sooo… you are here every day?”

“… there is also a no-flirting polic-“

“No worries, just want to know. Possibly to ask questions? I mean, come on, when did one get the chance to ask before? This is a ridiculous chance!”

Trevor pulled the beer for the… customer.

“... alright., I will not disclose any information regarding any employees’ shifts” he says and puts the Guinness in front of the strange man.

“Okay. Okay. Still no throwing out, I behave!” He lifted his hands. “I’ll think of something good, I promise!” And nips at the beer.

What a strange person.

…

That, from then on, he was watching Trevor? It did not help.

I’ve gotten better. If I can’t write a lot, I can at least write some. It’s better than burnout and much better than guilt.

Rebellion- Poster

Vivian Kiriazis

42.0 x 59.4 cm

LED light, card, cotton.

Rebellion in Art and Design is seen as the norm in today’s society. What would a creative contemporary rebellion look like? When this question is asked, it implies that society has become stagnant. By researching, documenting, reflecting, evaluating and developing previous experiments, I have come to the conclusion that a contemporary rebellion would be revolutionary.

As the strongest form of universal expression and communication, art and design is the ultimate tool to allow our world to grow. When we take risks, we risk the discovery of something new. In a society that yearns to move forward, rebellion cannot be redefined, we can only continue to take these risks to eventually lead us somewhere unprecedented just as we have done in the past.

Like Peregrine Church’s ‘Rainworks’ (2013-present), my work is a series of triggers that generate a change. Similar to Banksy’s work, ‘Yellow Lines Flower Painter’ (2007), my work encourages the audience to take to experiment with curiosity and difference to allow potentials to be uncovered. As a symbol of change, I have chosen light to signify a trigger point and have placed a series of push lights in an a2 grid where an act of rebellion and experimentation triggers the work. I have also displayed rebellion through the poster itself. My poster is a manifestation of rebellion, it challenges  the definition of a conventional poster. Also, my poster is interactive. In order for rebellion to have a purpose and result, there must be someone who is willing to rebel, and a witness who is willing to watch.

The more we rebel, the more potentials, possibilities and opportunities for progression we unveil. I have approached the idea of rebellion in a positive light. Ultimately, a creative contemporary rebellion would thus be a trigger point for something new to be unearthed- a revolution.

(I just moved my concept statement it here so I have less posts, sorry!)
