Integrative Seminar (Week 1)

My space (The Back Wall)
It all started with a plain white wall. When we moved into our new home and looked at our room for the first time. Maa said, “I need a photograph for this wall, it’s too empty.” And that day my brother decided that we have to paint the wall. We didn’t do anything at that time. We postponed that plan for a long time. Firstly, we both were curious what to do. Sometimes I kept looking at the wall. It was too monotonous for us. Then after a long time, after 6 years, we finally found something for the wall. It took us a whole day to paint it. We painted a man sitting on a bench with an umbrella in the rain. After that day we started feeling the presence of a third person in the room. Sometimes we felt like it’s glowing at night. It was a scary feeling. It felt awkward because there was a feeling of another presence which seemed like a threat to our privacy also, but because we put so many efforts in it, it was there at our wall for a year. Now there is a photo frame on that wall.
