Marian Bantijes: Intricate Beauty

In this talk, Marian Bantijes shared how she views things in our daily life and how she made her own interpretation via intricate designing. It is great to have a look at what she has designed with rather common media; it is even more interesting to listen how she finds pleasure doing those beautiful designs. As she put in words,

But I find that for myself, without exception, the more I deal with the work as something of my own, as something that is personal, the more successful it is as something that’s compelling, interesting and sustaining. So I exist somewhat outside of the mainstream of design thinking. Where others might look at measurable results, I tend to be interested in more ethereal qualities like does it bring joy? is there a sense of wonder? and does it invoke curiosity?

I want to know what love is

I Want to Know What Love Is
Mariah Carey

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when Im colder

In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is…..
I want you to show me……
I wanna feel what love is…..
I know you can show me……

I’m gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me….
Ive got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me….

In my life! there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
I cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life!.!.!.!.

I wanna know what love is…..
I want you to show me……
I wanna feel what love is……
I know you can show me……

I wanna know what love is….
I want you to show me….
And I wanna feel, I want to…. feel what love is….
And I know, I know you can show me….

show me

I wanna know what love is, lets talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is…

With love, we are stronger; we can go further and higher. May our hearts full of love and show our loved one our love.
