Where are we when we stand alone.
Like an artist, diverse & working from within, alone with the soul
Yet every creative needs loving company, a family...

I only had a minute to write something here as I only had the inspiration for Family in Residence a second ago :-)
So it is, in the ever present now, there is no time & no space. Everything is contained in the pulse of life, smaller than a pinhole, larger than the universe...

Sarah's mother Petra is from Burghausen, she left for Tenerife 40 years ago which is where Sarah was born. As a young lady Sarah returned to study law & finally went to work as a lawyer in Cameroon where she met Stephan. They married & have a beautiful little boy called Leon.
They live in Tenerife & move between Germany & various african countries depending on Sarah's work as a lawyer.
We met in front of MoMA Lemon Gallery in the summer of 2024 & they are now my family. They are the inspiration for this brand new MoMA Lemon Project, "Family in Residence"
It is simple, art can save the world. There are no superman stories of any true value. The vision is not mine, it is what we all wish for, to live creatively & to be kind to one another. Better than superman is to show others how to put themselves beyond the need of help. No one is helpless.
MoMA Lemon is a vision, to allow every single soul to discover their own potential. One Family of Oneness.

Once upon a time there was an ego. Indoctrinated by her surrounding family, which is quite normal, she developed a keen sense of mistrust which led her to believe in controlling everything, including the people around her. As time passed she became rigid in her ways, nobody & no thing could get her to see her way out of her own prison. Her potential would be wasted, mocking the good things & favouring material gains she wandered through life wishing to have her own private swimming pool & to drive a Hummer.
To cut a long story short, she didn't realise that the family surrounding her became envious of her & her material wealth & started to forbid her to stay in their own homes, she was not welcome anymore. Later she married a wise King & together they had a child. Although she was a control freak she was unable to control her own 2 year old son, who incidentally would like all egos be indoctrinated by their immediate family, in this case a control freak mother. The paradox of it, trying to control the uncontrollable, and in the end you are alone with your ego. The King & her son would eventually leave her & the view from her dream home with a swimming pool & a Hummer parked outside would make her terribly sad.
The End
Deutsch:
Es war einmal ein Ego. Indoktriniert von ihrer Familie, was ganz normal ist, entwickelte sie ein ausgeprägtes Misstrauen, das sie dazu brachte, alles kontrollieren zu wollen, einschließlich der Menschen um sie herum. Mit der Zeit wurde sie immer starrköpfiger, niemand und nichts konnte ihr helfen, einen Ausweg aus ihrem eigenen Gefängnis zu finden. Ihr Potenzial wurde verschwendet, sie verspottete die guten Dinge und bevorzugte materielle Gewinne. Sie wanderte durch das Leben und wünschte sich einen eigenen Swimmingpool und einen Hummer.
Um es kurz zu machen: Sie bemerkte nicht, dass ihre Familie neidisch auf sie und ihren materiellen Reichtum wurde und ihr verbot, in ihrem Haus zu wohnen; sie war nicht mehr willkommen. Später heiratete sie einen weisen König und zusammen bekamen sie ein Kind. Obwohl sie eine Kontrollfreak war, konnte sie ihren eigenen zweijährigen Sohn nicht kontrollieren, der, wie alle Egos, von seiner unmittelbaren Familie indoktriniert wurde, in diesem Fall von einer kontrollsüchtigen Mutter. Das Paradoxe daran ist, dass man versucht, das Unkontrollierbare zu kontrollieren, und am Ende mit seinem Ego allein ist. Der König und ihr Sohn würden sie schließlich verlassen, und der Blick aus ihrem Traumhaus mit Swimmingpool und einem vor der Tür geparkten Hummer würde sie schrecklich traurig machen.
