Post Steve Jobs' demise, the world virtually exploded and the web-planet was filled with poems, obituaries, images, RIP comments and posts about his views and life . It was somewhat awkward for me to post anything as I don't know this iconic personality in person, though I never missed any of his keynotes, lectures and even films made about this great man.
People who never had written poems in their lives came out with touching goodbye poems. Even arch rivals have only good things to say about this man only when he is gone and won't hear or care anymore. Well, it is human nature to acknowledge greatness when it is too late. And all those emptying of emotion is part of a farcical cycle.
Here is something, which I think don't fit into that predictable mourning or paying tribute tradition.
A Montreal-based artist Olivier Lefebvre, making a portrait of Steve Jobs out of 3,750 apples is some sort of an out of the box tribute to the departed former Apple Chief and genius. Though the creation is very much temporary, it is like a heartbreaking love letter written on the sand. Life after all is like a letter written on the sand which gets washed away by the sea no matter what.
The downside of the creation is that the apples used for this artwork were rotten implying there was no waste. It would have been a more touching goodbye creation if the apples were fresh. Steve Jobs at least deserve 3,750 fresh apples if not more for his contribution to technology.
On a second thought; is Olivier Lefebvre suggesting life is like rotten apples???
