Open Season
Is this art? When you walk around in a museum for modern art, you might catch yourself wondering about the meaning of the pieces every once in a while. If you’re a little cynical, you might even think: I could have made this.
When I was in Paris with my 9-year-old Olivia, we were visiting the modern art museum Centre Pompidou. And with every object we saw, she would ask: is this art? And a little later, when we were resting on a bench, she said something that you could interpret as: I could have made this.
But her comment wasn’t cynical. What she said was: ‘Mom, there are so many things that I can come up with for this museum!’
Her way of looking at this art, made me realise even more that instead of being cynical, it’s much more fun to approach the world in a more positive way: that there’s pieces you’d like to add to society.
So, let’s approach this new year with a blank page. For this next season I’ve decided to go all white. I orderd a model, which will only be available in the off-white colour Milk. And – as a gesture to my spirit animal Olivia – the Olivia bag will also be available in this brand new white colour.
This year won’t be black or brown. This year we will have a new, blank canvas. Because I could use some light features this year. And I prefer to look at life like there’s things to add, instead of being cynical.
Stay tuned…
Love
