Sivan Rubinstein
︎’A world of its own’ reflection
A world of its own.
We are all people of the world
Children of Mother Earth
In our bodies we collect memories
Scars and dreams
Sometimes
Borders close in front of us
Leading us away
From a version of ourselves , and the people who were our home
So we take our bodies onto a new adventure, facing the hardest question of
What is home ?
It’s not a passport, bricks or walls
It’s a feeling of being - it’s a safety
It is the people we are with
And it’s the nature around us
It is in our body
In the bodies of our mothers
The bodies that were given by our ancestors
To walk & dream.
To be & move freely
To create a new home for our children
Our body has memories,
addictions, fragile spots and pain
As well as strength- Infinite like the ocean
The wrinkles of our body carry our journey.
It’s shape and habits are our family, their uniqueness and their story
Home is in our timeless body
The body of Mother earth
O
A poem with a visual composition depicting Sivan’s painted body pregnant as a planet earth. As a common Home.
