About the Artwork

Becoming alive
Playing dead
The extent of which
Exists
Primarily in my head
Sprawled out on my bed
Absorbed in the question
Which came first the chicken or the egg
Suddenly hit me like a ton of lead
How exactly did it start and
When exactly will it end
Am I real or
Am I pretend
Perhaps I actually am condemned
Now’s the time to emerge and
Amend
Took a risk
Hummed and hemmed
Made a pledge
My friend
I have you pegged
Don’t make me beg
Open your heart
Extend a hand to lend
I’m on the mend
Climbing the ladder
Peg legged
To ascend
Mortal man
With my pride to defend
Against all odds
I Transcend
Godsend

About the Artist — Jared Bernstein

I search in my work, whether poetry, photography or painting, the humanistic approach. My work is free flowing and raw, reminiscent of the works by Jean-Michel Basquiat. The primeval imagery and universality free me to explore my creative life without judgment.
