Talking to Myself Inside (Talking with the Inner Child)

#ai #art #aiart #barhatovaiart #digitalart #aiartwork #aiartmood #aiartcommunity #psychology #psychosomatics #visualarts #digitalpainting #digitalillustration #digitalart #generativeart #BskyArt

Dialogue with your inner child means a caring, mindful conversation between your adult self and the vulnerable, emotional part within that wants understanding. Such inner dialogue helps you notice childish reactions, support yourself, accept your feelings, and find strength for maturity and inner calm

A girl stares into a crack at her feet.
The crack stares into the girl.
"What's in there?" the girl asked the crack.
"In there is me," replied the crack.
The girl leaned in closer.
Her coat flew open — a butterfly!
The wall gasped in brick-dust.
And the girl?
And the girl crawled into the crack, into the dark, where the me lives.
And ever since, and ever since,
the crack stares at the passers-by
with an eye that looks like a button
from a black coat.

A black and white photographic portrait in medium shot framing shows a young European woman with shoulder-length dark hair standing centered against a heavily weathered concrete wall. The natural daylight creates dramatic side lighting across the composition, with the centered subject positioned prominently against the textured background. The woman's face angles slightly downward and to the viewer's left with a contemplative, serious expression, her eyes looking downward and to the left towards the crack in the asphalt road while her body faces generally toward the camera with a slight three-quarter turn. She poses convincingly feigning detachment and loss. The background features extensive weathering, peeling, staining, and textural damage on the concrete surface, with a blurred architectural element visible on the left side. The medium depth of field keeps both subject and immediate background in sharp focus, while the black and white color palette creates high contrast with rich blacks and bright whites, emphasizing the interplay of light, shadow, and texture throughout the exterior daylight composition.

The house stands.
The wall weeps limestone tears.
A girl plays: "I am a statue!"
She froze.
Her coat – a bell.
Wind? No wind.
The sun strikes her cheek – hot!
It hurts the statue, but the statue doesn't weep.
The statue stares at the asphalt, where brick-shadows crawl.
"May I shed a tear?" asked the plaster.
"You may not!" thought the statue.
And so they stand.
The house. The wall. The statue.
And ever since, and ever since,
The brick-shadows crawl over the asphalt's face,
Seeking a way out.
But there is no way out.
Only the wall.
Only the plaster's weeping.
Only the game.

“Kvass, with Rye and Regret"

By a contributor from the Soviet provinces

He left the lecture early, not out of rebellion but habit. The professor’s voice had begun to echo in his head like the hum of trolley wires — persistent, indistinct, vaguely authoritative. Outside, the sun was already asserting itself, baking the concrete and casting long shadows from the birch trees that lined the avenue like obedient soldiers.

He walked toward the kvass barrel — a fixture of Soviet summer, part hydration station, part social theater. The woman behind the spigot wore a white apron and a look that said she’d seen too many students and not enough respect. He handed over a few kopecks and received a thick glass, the kind that could survive a fall from a third-floor dormitory window.

The kvass was warm, slightly sour, and tasted like rye bread left out in the sun. He drank slowly, watching the trolleybus glide past, its cables singing overhead. A Volga idled nearby, its driver smoking with the resigned elegance of someone who’d once dreamed of Paris but settled for Perm.

He wore a floral shirt — loud, unbuttoned, unapologetic. His jeans flared at the bottom, a style imported from somewhere west of Warsaw. In his pocket: a notebook filled with lyrics, half borrowed from Soviet rock bands, half invented during sleepless nights staring at the ceiling of his shared dorm room.

He was thinking about Leningrad. About transferring. About becoming someone else — or maybe just becoming himself, finally. His parents, practical people, had other ideas. “We have everything here,” they said. “Why chase shadows?”

He finished the kvass. The barrel gleamed in the sun, indifferent. He stood there, caught between two futures: one imagined, one inherited. The glass in his hand was empty, but he held it a moment longer.

A young Soviet man in his mid-20s stands on a sunlit street in the late 1970s, drinking kvass from a faceted glass. Behind him is a large cylindrical kvass tanker with a yellowish-golden metallic finish, mounted on a wheeled cart. The word "КВАС" is painted in bold red Cyrillic letters on the side of the tank. The man wears a vibrant floral-patterned shirt, unbuttoned to reveal his chest, and dark flared trousers with a belt. His hair is shoulder-length and wavy, and his expression is thoughtful. In the background, a turquoise bakery with the sign "БУЛОЧНАЯ" in red Cyrillic letters stands next to a beige brick building. A red and cream-colored Soviet trolleybus passes by on the street, with overhead wires and green trees lining the road. The lighting is warm and nostalgic, evoking a quiet summer afternoon in a provincial Soviet city>

Slow Touches of Morning A photographic reverie in three breaths

In a landscape stitched from linen air and eyelashes of light, three figures drift across the threshold of sleep and skin. They do not speak, but the silence between them hums — like birds rehearsing forgotten hymns beneath unopened curtains.

Each frame lingers like steam on collarbones, where time curls gently, refusing urgency. The walls bend, the shadows stretch, and somewhere within the warmth of a paused gesture, morning learns to exhale.

Not stories. Not portraits. Just the gravity of softness. Just the texture of moments that refuse to be named.

A black and white photographic portrait features a young adult light-skinned woman with long, flowing dark hair positioned centrally in a medium close-up frame. The image is captured with natural side lighting that creates dimensional shadows across her face and hair, using a medium lens with shallow depth of field that keeps the background softly out of focus. Shot from an interior camera position during daytime, the composition centers the subject against a soft, blurred interior wall background with diagonal shadow patterns. The woman looks directly at the camera with a subtle smile, her face turned slightly toward the viewer while her body is angled toward the camera in a relaxed portrait pose. She wears a light-colored floral patterned garment with small dark motifs scattered across the fabric. The black and white color palette emphasizes tonal contrast and texture throughout the image, creating a classic portrait photography aesthetic with high contrast monochrome tones and smooth gradations between light and shadow. Medium-format black and white portrait photography with soft natural lighting and shallow depth of field. The photograph has heavy film grain characteristics of Ilford Delta 3200 film stock, with low contrast and subtle darkening at the image edges.

A black and white film-style photograph from the 1960s. A young man with tousled hair plays an acoustic guitar on a worn wooden bench in a quiet courtyard at dusk. Two young women in vintage coats and knee-high socks sit on either side, listening intently with thoughtful expressions. The scene is softly lit by a vintage street lamp casting warm highlights and deep shadows. The photo has visible film grain, scratches, dust particles, and signs of aging — evoking nostalgia and the atmosphere of a forgotten song. The ground is uneven, with patches of dirt and sparse grass; background shows a modest apartment building with a few dimly lit windows. The composition feels intimate and cinematic, like a still from a lost romantic short film.

In the silence of the window, light fades on black,
A rounded shape of pause — the breath of the wall.
Caught between glare and shadow lies the silent one —
A gaze beyond, where dreams remain unfinished.

She is like the whisper of the reflected room:
Faintly heard, yet stronger than silence.
Between the inner and the outer — an unseen world,
Where every beam becomes a secret.

Inter-Lumen

It was a dream woven from shadows and silver. There, the light didn't just fall – it cut through the void. Carving out from the darkness the contours of a face that wasn't there... or perhaps too many faces. A single eye – an island in this sea of half-light, the only fixed point. Long strands – not hair, but shifting veils, sliding over unseen edges. Silence between breaths. The space of Inter-Lumen – where reality is merely a hint, and meeting that gaze felt like eternity.

A dramatic black and white extreme close-up portrait of a young woman photographed in an intimate style. The composition features strong side lighting creating bold contrast across her face, which is partially obscured by flowing dark hair. One eye is prominently visible and focused directly on the camera, while the rest of her features fade into shadow.

A moody black and white photograph captures a young adult reclining lazily on a rumpled bed in a dimly lit bedroom. Their head is wrapped in a loosely draped white towel, face tilted upward, eyes either closed or half-lidded in contemplation. A lit cigarette rests between their fingers, a wisp of smoke curling into the air. Soft, diffused natural light pours through sheer white curtains on the right, casting delicate patterns of light and shadow across the scene. The disheveled bedsheets add texture, their folds creating dynamic lines. The composition is asymmetrical, with the subject positioned off-center, framed by the window's glow. Stark contrasts emphasize the interplay of light and darkness—deep blacks against bright highlights. The shallow depth of field blurs subtle background details, drawing focus to the subject's expression and the cigarette's ember. The atmosphere is intimate, melancholic, and timeless, evoking a sense of quiet solitude.

A grainy, high-contrast black and white portrait, shot on Ilford Delta 3200—its signature gritty texture and deep blacks lending the image a raw, unfiltered emotion. The scene is intimate: a figure draped in wrinkled white fabric lounges on a disheveled bed, their face tilted upward, cigarette smoke curling into the hazy air. Natural light leaks through sheer curtains, casting a soft glow that fights against the encroaching shadows. The film’s pushed development crushes the blacks slightly, swallowing details in the darkest areas, while the highlights bloom with a subtle, organic halation. Dust specks, faint scratches, and the occasional light leak creep into the frame—unavoidable artifacts of a handheld, low-light shot on vintage film. The shallow depth of field blurs the edges into a dreamlike blur, but the grain remains sharp, tactile, almost audible. It feels like a stolen moment, a secret preserved in silver gelatin.

They say film captures light. But sometimes — it holds a pause. The kind where a person hasn’t posed yet, but has already drifted out of thought.

There’s no story here. Just an expression that doesn’t ask to be understood. Just smoke that remembers how long the silence lasted. And grain that forgets nothing.

🎞️🚬✨ Somewhere between light and smoke, something still burns. One spark is a story. And between the thoughts, there's always a trace of light.

High-contrast black and white street portrait, 3:2 format. A young woman stands against a textured wooden wall in soft daylight. One shoulder is bare. A lit cigarette rests between her lips, with smoke curling upward. Her expression is introspective and calm, as if caught mid-thought. The background is blurred but organic — aged wood, faint urban textures. Strong Ilford Delta 3200-style grain, deep blacks, rich shadows, and blooming highlights. The lighting is directional, creating sculpted contrast across her face and collarbone. The mood is cinematic, raw, and intimate — like a still from a forgotten film.

She doesn’t run from the world, not really. But lately, it all feels like too much — the headlines, the noise, the pretending.

So she drops the needle on a record from the ‘60s. A voice crackles through the speakers, full of warmth and dust. Outside, the world spins too fast. But here, in this sunlit room, it slows.

Not silence — just music that listens back.

Black and white analog-style photograph, 3:2 format. A vinyl record spins quietly on a turntable in a sunlit room. A strong beam of light pours in through sheer curtains, flooding part of the floor and furniture with soft haze and overexposure. Dust particles shimmer in the light. A nearby armchair, slightly askew, with a blanket draped and headphones resting on the seat, suggests recent presence. Heavy film grain in the style of Ilford Delta 3200, combined with low contrast and subtle vignetting, creates a quiet, intimate, nostalgic mood. The atmosphere feels as though sound and sunlight have soaked into the air itself.

Gritty black and white analog-style street photo, 3:2 format. A lone cat sits or walks across a wet city pavement, partially reflected in a shallow puddle. The atmosphere is subdued and moody — soft haze, light fog, low contrast, and diffused highlights create a veiled effect. Visible grain is strong, emulating high ISO film or chemical push. Film texture includes dust specs, faint scratches, and gentle vignetting. Scene evokes quiet contemplation, as if the city paused around the cat's stillness.

Black and white analog-style street photo, 3:2 format. A lone cat sits calmly in the middle of a vaulted stone corridor, its silhouette perfectly centered and reflected in a shallow puddle beneath. Soft natural light pours in from an arched exit at the far end, casting long shadows and subtle highlights across worn pavement. The mood is quiet, timeless, almost sacred — as if the cat guards the passage to another world. Film grain, faint haze, low contrast, and slight vignetting evoke a dreamy urban stillness.

Black and white analog-style street photo, 3:2 format. A solitary cat sits motionless beneath a stone archway in an empty urban alley, directly aligned with a shallow puddle that reflects its silhouette. The light from a distant corridor softly illuminates worn pavement, casting long shadows and diffused highlights. Scene is enveloped in subtle haze and gentle fog. Contrast is low; strong film grain, dust specs, faint scratches, and a light veil effect add to the moody, dreamlike quality. The mood is noir, contemplative, almost spectral — as if time paused while the cat held the threshold.
