Shh.. Just Breathe
The Complexity of Spirituality.
While I love my science, 95.1% of our observable universe is made of things we cannot perceive. Given my infinitesimal scale in the hierarchy of perceivable matter (at 4.9%), it seems reasonable to assume that my access rights to critical information are correspondingly minuscule. So, with this humble existence, how does one perceive something one's evolutionary existence hasn't yet developed senses for? Which counterintuitive exploration can decrypt that which hides in plain sight?
I tried Vipassana meditation as its core message was an awareness-over-action rewiring technique that also offered a way to cope with suffering. I unexpectedly stumbled upon a hidden treasure - quietude. Once in a while, a syzygy occurs when all the chaotic information gets neatly aligned into indexed actionable-ish insights. That resulting preparedness offers a much-needed respite from the persistent imposter syndrome and an antidote to the illusion of the God complex. A middle ground of truce and accountability creates a precious ephemeral contentment—a gravitational cocktail of serotonin and dopamine on the rocks.
Inspired by Vipassana, Mindfulness, and Zen, this collection includes landscapes, geometric shapes, and abstract forms. The artworks feature flowing textures and meditative renderings to evoke a sense of calmness. It taps into the gap between our sensory repertoire and the enigmas of the universe. Each piece invites viewers to quiet their minds and attempt to understand the intricacies of their lens on reality. And get in on the precious contentment of mindfulness-powered change.
PS: Patience is probably the most complex skill I am learning, but its cost-benefit analysis is a chef's kiss. It holds the secret of caring about everything without having to.
