Here are our selected works from that content for the week of December 15 to 21.

The fiction of @cubanresearch

The narrative voice can astonish the reader with such a generative transparence. In case of this writer, we can clearly see that the "door" is wide open and offers access to a sensual introspection with erotic features, nothing else than a passionate act, savoring the presence of the other. Can we reach the veil and see beyond these actions? Can we feel the emotion? "Secret in the Field" is a powerful piece that tends to make us wonder: how present are we when we love another in any way that we do?

The photography of @fastchrisuk

En My 2021 Lightpainting Review nos encontramos con una técnica fotográfica de hacer figuras con la luz, dónde captura cada destello, lo que hace que este hermoso arte destaque entre sus formas al darle diversos movimientos. El autor demuestra sus mejores tomas de este año 2021, expresando claramente que todo lo hace con la cámara, no utiliza Photoshop, demostrando que se dedíca con mucho esfuerzo y profesionalismo.

The fiction of @violetaperez

"Mi abuelo-es-un-reptil" es una simpática historia que deja al lector con la duda de si los esposos son cómplices de un abuelo que se traga a las gordas y a las viejas del barrio. La familia se niega a creer que el abuelo sea el culpable de la desaparición de las mujeres; el abuelo actúa de lo más natural, incluso delante de su nieta, la única que lo ha visto y por quien nos enteramos de las hazañas de este abuelito que después de comer se va de casa para regresar después, con más hambre.

The fiction of @litguru

"Raising Rudolph" is a seasonal tale that reimagines Rudolph as a young reindeer angry at the environmental destruction that humans are bringing to his forest home. The story creatively plays with elements of the original tale (Santa and Mrs. Claus, for example, appear as psychedelic mushroom hunters, and Rudolph's nose glows red as a result of tripping on those mushrooms). The dynamics of the original tale are inverted; rather than the rest of the reindeer coming to see Rudolph in a new light, it is Rudolph who undergoes a transformation in how he sees the rest of the world. The plot is a kishōtenketsu, structured not as a conflict that builds to a climax and resolution, but as the juxtaposition of the main body of the story and a seemingly disparate element (Rudolph's trip on those psychedelic mushrooms), which provides a resolution when it connects to the rest of the story as the agent of Rudolph's transformation.

The painting of @ayana511

In artworks, we find it easy to distinguish between the subjects and objects. That is, we find it easy to find the subjects that are presented to us on top or in front of the background (object). In "A brighter scene" by the artist @ayana511, the subject and object seemingly blend into each other. Focussing on the background (object) rather than the foreground (subject), the artist creates (intentionally or unintentionally) the illusion that the piano player is part of the background. The subject becomes an object; like the chair or a curtain, the piano player is nothing but another piece of furniture. Contemplating the notes on the piano, we sit in a similar position studying the piano player as the object.
