Carmen - dupa 8 ani

Dupa 8 ani. In vara lui 2013 am avut ocazia sa petrec suficient de mult timp, in Ploiesti, in discutii (inedite) cu sora mea Carmen, ca sa imi dea (after the fact) un sentiment de "closure". 

A fost o persoana paradoxala. Complicata. Pe facebook avea 5 personas, cu care ocazional purta polemici (ca dialog intre centre diverse din interiorul ei).

A avut parte de tragism in exces (partial self-inflicted, partial datorat contextului/sansei - in pofida ideilor "pozitive" ce le enunta periodic ca sa-si dea curaj), insa a biruit fortele ce o trageau in jos (sau in directii ce nu erau potrivite cu firea ei intima) printr-o abundenta de creativitate a spiritului sau estetic.

Viata ei = estetica, intr-un cuvint.

The quintuple - the personas of Carmen

There were four more personas of Carmen:

• Ravi Chandrashekar 
• Rajiv Singh 
• Piotr Gift
• Manolo Lasswell

She was in fact every one of them.

 

Carmen a fost fiecare din acestia. Fiecare dintre ei era ea. 

 

She and them - the quintuple - were her immediate society.

 

Given the circumstances of her life, this multiplication (leading to situations in which she polemicized with herself) could be seen as sad, or could be seen as an existential literary plot-play. 

 

One does not exclude the other, though.
