Professional 2016
First Place: Nara Harutyunyan, Yeghegnadzor
Instead of the oceans covering the earth, forests are in their place, making it possible to walk from continent to continent. Like oceans, they get deeper, darker, and more dangerous the further you go. You travel through one of these "oceans." What do you see?
There is fear in my heart and widespread distrust what will be happened in the next moment.I am shaking with my all being like deer who realise that blockaded in the small area. I don’t feel the soil under my foot… where is the force of gravity?
There is thick dark… so thick that it seems to me that I could touch it. I feel the weight of the darkness in my shoulder.
You know the darkness of forest has smell. The small is complex. It is difficult to differentiate the small of moist soil or the small of the roots of old tree.
The symphony of darkness sounds in my ear, sound of human and animal fear.
Two more distrust steps and here is small glimse of sunshine which just scream out through dense branches.
O my God… I feel the life in my face, in my heart. I am alive.
Second Place: Anna Hovhannisyan, Yeghegnadzor
As you die, you travel down the bright tunnel and then everything turns black. That's when you hear it: "Greetings, Prisoner 11384. You have served your sentence. You are free to go." What happens next?
After so many years being as a prisons I couldn’t catch the meaning “you are free to go”. During so many years I have created my own dictionary and my own words using “free” as an institutional and unique teritory in the universe. All the time, I was thinking that the word “free” is a foundamental approach in the society, but first you should feel it in your nerves, in your bones, and then in your head. Being a “free” it’s a mentality and it does not mean do want you want, but in this case I would say do want you want, but respect others. This is how freedom occupied us from the forth sides: be as you are, act as you are, be you love to see people and keep your secrets, as they are the main motion of your life.But all human beings aren’t insecure by fortune or by circumstances to be free and not to have “Additional Statues of Prisoner”…
As life goes we want or not, we depend on the circumstance or mistakes that turns our life on hundred percentage. You would not believe me, the mistake that I did is based on life circumstances. But a thousand time we hear, that we are managing the circumstances not circumstances on us, but let me agree with it.
Circumstances are like a “A life present”, which can inspired you, motivate and suddenly it hearts you down on your knees as a rain’s drops: “tak-tak, tick-tak. Can you here it?
The rain is like clock: counting my hours, taking my life’s hours, my hearts movement.
I did it, without realizing that because of circumstances. Suddenly I realize that I have a new name consited of only with numbers, “11384”. I am to proud and poweful person to do with my hands “my last ending”. “My last ending”, which I have planned very carefully.
The specific thing about human beings is described by willingness to create and cultivate. All this years I have been surrounded by many things: rain was my watch, a stingy sun was my heater, my bed was turned to restaurant next day a tiny cozy house and my only loyal friend was my “Diery” – called 11384.
I discovered “new world”, that I was surrounded behind me.
Every day I wake up with my daily plans, which step by step converted into dreams. I whispered my dreams, as prist whispering the name of Jesus. My dreams are my praying phrases. And then every day I have discovered my achievements, my family, my home…
But every time they heavy voice of policeman woke me up and as usual I have been conforted with the reality: “Tiny room, my friend-book, my bed”.
I have been waiting to hear the policemen words “You are free” over 20 years! But now, when time came I see a dark light within a freedom tunnel…
I have planned my death very carefully. “Goodbye Prisoner 11384”
Third Place: Varduhi Ghazaryan, Kapan
As you die, you travel down the bright tunnel and then everything turns black. That's when you hear it: "Greetings, Prisoner 11384. You have served your sentence. You are free to go." What happens next?
Everyone must die one day and it doesn’t matter what kind of life you have had. To tell the truth it will be interesting if you die and you appear in a bright tunnel. And besides, there is not a person who has not done anything bad in his life, but only the time and the God can judge you fairly. So I imagine this situation very clearly: the thoughts that made me suffer, things that I did, for which I am very sorry now. And the freedom moment comes. You understand you served your sentence. You are free to go. You take a risk to restart your life. The years you have spent in the prison is a good lesson for your future life. I’ll think of my goal and objectives thoroughly. How I am going to fulfil them as I understand the importance of this procedure. I’ll go through the steps that I am going to undertake in future. I’ll have this corcret future plan in front of me in order not to fail again, not to appear in the same situation. My future life lesson plan will be a beacon for my new life.
