What do I say to viewers and readers about why I am posting this picture here [ The Cosmos of World Art and Correlative Cultural Forms Facebook group (COWACArt) ] ?
I can't post it in the sister group Erotica Global because the mood of the picture is too serious for that, going by the lady's face and dress.
At the same time, can I truly tell people reading this why I am presenting this image in this place?
How does one discuss the aesthetics of a woman's frontal carriage as a central feature in admiring her beauty on a group dedicated to aesthetics and art?
How one's eyes are instantly magnetized by the horizontal and vertical balance exhibited by the twin hills, even as their softness makes them unique among the constructions of nature and humanity of related relationship between mass and projection towards an apex, central among which are the awesome and mysterious pyramids of Egypt, the impact of their presence magnified by the fact that the means through which were created these behemoths dominating the ocean of desert sand remains unknown over the centuries.
Do I also mention the classical cut of her face, the gleam of the white dress against the balance of the black color created by the fall of light in the building in which she stands, with the green of the background vegetation, these forms framing her presence?
The thick, golden river of hair, its flow sumptuous as the majestic mane of a lion?
The radiance of the face empowered by the spirit shining from the eyes even as the features retain aesthetic force in spite of the inroads of time?
The pot of eternal renewal, waves of unceasing majesty, evocations of her name at the confluence of two great rivers..Ifa and Olokun...two great bodies of knowledge and personalities in the ages of interaction of human and spirit...Mary Cruz IyaOnifa IfaOlokum...
Surely, the spirit flaming here with the quiet intensity of a slow and steady fire derives significantly from her immersion at this confluence...
