Crowded Isolation

Reposting an older post that I have last November 1, 2011, a picture taken by my friend Roland [link] during the Halloween Costume Street Party at Church Street, Toronto... seeing this new Photo Prompt from Magpie Tales, i thought that the idea is the same... 

Crowded Isolation

I can hear voices,
screaming, 
laughing 
and even crying.

I can hear footsteps
and sense movements.

Suffocated,
Crowded...



Yet I feel alone 
and see noone.

  4. ParengJJ,
    It is strange and it is ironic. We're in a crowd with lots of people around us but we are still alone. Great Magpie!

  12. Good that you re-posted this. Such loneliness is more intense than when there are no people around at all. Crowds frighten me. I guess it is my fear of the mob mentality and loss of control.

  18. Yes, there is very much a sense of that crowded isolation in the painting.

  19. Dear JJ: "None" so alone as being alone in a crowd, very frightening; especially when one cannot "see" yet can "hear". How confusing the noise of others' happy communication making one feeling further alone. Deep and moving; an eye-opener! Chiccoreal
