Ocean Vuong. Just a short moment on earth, we are all beautiful (№ 464890)

We multiply what we find aesthetically pleasing: a vase, a painting, a bowl, a poem. We recreate an object in order to preserve it, to prolong its existence in time and space. Admiring what you like - a fresco, a snow cap glowing at sunset on a mountain top, a boy with a mole on his cheek - means recreating this image, continuing it in your gaze, multiplying it, prolonging it.
