Letters Dear Sacha Mallor, Your art piece has generated a lot of feelings in me. But there is a certain mystery about your art piece, something I am not able to decipher. It's very beautiful yet there is something inherently sad about it.  The true meaning of the art is not clear to me, but it has generated a reaction. Dear colors, You are an explosion. Colors burst from you like lightening in a storm. You remind me of evenings spent watching the sky before a storm- how everything changed from pink to yellow to grey- how the air was saturated with moisture and spark. You are chaos and structure, softness and tight. You reflect as a storm that we feel within ourselves- harsh, vibrant emotion camouflaged behind fog. Reaching out. Thank you for showing your power. Dear art, You look well protected on the outside built with many layers. Very strong and a protector of all.  But on the inside you may not be the same.  You look fragile and tender just like us all. My dearest,
