'Footprints of the Present Moment'

Do we have a need to be remembered by our deeds after we're gone, or is it something that we learn through interactions with others? Is it in the human nature to want to leave footprints in the snow? Or is it just a display of ego? I mean it metaphorically, of course. I'm talking about creating things that matter to people. Big inventions, world political movements, great works of art that people will remember for centuries. We are all walking in this place only for a brief moment in time, having fun, helping others, buying groceries and doing whatever we do. We live in ordinary moments but why do footprints need to be huge, anyway? :)

This white, high key out of balance open composition, talks about this. Our footprints. We came from somewhere and we are going somewhere. After we're gone, all that is left are them. I've used three colours to make sure that not all off footprints that we're leaving are the same. At the same time, I've differentiated past, present and future. The blues are the most numerous because I want to accentuate the importance of the present. What was and what will come are not so important. What matters is what happens now. I've also kept the colour balance with small accents of warm colours. The overall message is simple. The present moment is what you have and is the only place where you can change things. No need to worry about what was or what will be because these are mostly out of your hands. We can debate what one can do beforehand to be better off later but is planning for the future living in the present moment?

Is it worth leaving footprints for the future? I think it all comes down to what a person believes and therefore all answers are valid. Whatever one does, as long as he/she believes in it, is the way to go. Your path is yours, so follow it in good spirits, wherever it leads.
Leave footprints if you want, don't if you believe that it doesn't matter. It's all good, as long as it makes you happy.

Enjoy! :)
