”You have to create the happiness you want. Like literally take it for yourself.”
As Zllen sat in front of the mirror, toying with the antique perfume bottle, she became perfectly still as her sleepy eyes stared ahead, as if she was something uniquely familiar in the reflection of a her own windows to the soul. The loc’d beautiful spoke quietly when she spoke at all. Lost in her own musings, the earthSista clearly had unspoken thoughts, streaming thru consciousness and she struck contemplative posed that made you well aware, that there were so many stories, so many mysteries behind her every expression.
To some degree Zllen can be an enigma. Her moments in the Garden have been impulsive. Her personal journey yields a lot travel. As a result, it seems she lives in the moment. And yet the people who are in those moments with her are fortunate to share in their reverence, finding inspiration. This was one of those moments. And the reverence… quite possibly is the responsibility of the navigator of her travels.
“God is my pilot”
in·ter·lude | ˈin(t)ərˌlo͞od | noun 1 an intervening period of time. 2 a temporary amusement or source of entertainment that contrasts with what goes before or after.
An Interlude in Pangea’s Garden is a momentary collection of casual captures. They are informal and open and sometimes intimate. Interludes can be spontaneous; they can be exploratory. An Interlude can be an icebreaker, where photographer and muse get to know each other. In an act of curiosity and inspiration,Vincent reached out and asked if he and Zllen could collaborate and create a few captures together. On one of her trips to the ATL to visit one of her partner, she called on an impulse and they agreed to meet. This is part one of excursion. Part two is coming soon.
