Sasha wrote to me, “Just wanted to show you this piece I did many years ago. There is a bit of an interesting story to it. I had this boyfriend and we were together about a year. Then one night my parents came home and told me they saw my then boyfriend with another woman at the same function sitting at table next to them and he was introducing that girl to everyone as if it was his girlfriend. My parents were furious. I was so humiliated. I don’t care if a boyfriend doesn’t want me anymore, but I couldn’t bear the humiliation of my parents having to be the ones to tell me. That boyfriend then called me before I could even digest what my parents were telling me and told me things were over between us and he wanted to break up with me. So for the first two nights after that, I didn’t know what to do with myself after coming home from work cause usually I would meet up with him. So, I went to art shop near my house and bought this canvas and just started painting. No plan. No nothing. Just something to do.Icompleted it in the first two nights after I got humiliatingly dumped andthat’s why I titled it ‘First Two Nights’. Evennow when I look at it I can see the section that I painted on the first night and which sectionI did on the second night. Less than a month after I finished this painting, I went to an art exhibition and met my husband.”

MANUSIA, BATU DAN TUHAN
Siri Musafir X
Lakaran oleh Johan Ishak 2019 untuk sajak oleh Jo Haq 1998
Dakwat atas kertas 20cm x 15cm
Manusia, Batu dan Tuhan
Manusia berdiri gagah menyemai asas
Dari bukit-bukit pejal
Dari gading, emas dan mozek
Mereka mengecap sejarah
Atas nama Tuhan, dan tuhan-tuhan
Yang mengembara dari timur ke barat
Di atas bahtera dan kafilah purba
Melalui bisikan dan syair pelaut
Tapi, evolusi ini evolusi kuasa
Yang diguna dan dipergunakan
Untuk mendestarkan
Colosus penjaga pintu Rhodes
Zues di kerusi marmar
Dan penyusuan payu dara Artemis
Evolusi ini evolusi tamadun
Yang dibina dan diperbiarkan
Bukankah Babylon itu
Syurga yang bertaman indah?
Tapi kenapa hilang ditelan zaman?
Sedangkan metropolis Iskandariah
Kehilangan Pharos dan Mousoleum
Inikan pula firaun-firaun Mesir
Yang berlindung di bawah ahram batu
Manusia hidup dan mati
Mencipta dan mengalpakan Tuhan
Membina dan manghancurkan tamadun
Yang mampu mereka wariskan kepada kita
Hanyalah batu
Jo Haq, Wembley 1998
