A new semester begins and a new chance emerges to challenge myself and push the boundaries in understanding myself, the world around me and being able to transform all these into creation of some sort. This time around I am suddenly aware of the centrality of emotions which can be conveyed through what I do. Everything about creating art is about conveying emotions, trying to reach out and resonate on the same level as your audience and the present something which speaks about an issue, a resolution or even a new way of thinking about things. I've realized that a lot of my work has started to lack this, after being confounded by the technicalities of it all and in being able to resolve this I must find a way to balance my own vision with the language which already exists. After all, that is the basis for communicating and sharing something.
In a way, studying an art has opened my eyes to a vast new world, one which is the same world I have been living in, yet with a fresh new perspective and an interest in details of the how everything is run. When you study architecture, you begin to notice everything, because everything is architecture. Humans have defined a space of living, and a way of living through their architecture, and to understand this, there needs to be a deep appreciation for culture, history and all of us which are involved in it. There seems to be an unending source of inspiration, and suddenly the brightest source of inspiration and direction comes from being able to choose these ideas carefully and finally pushing hard enough to make them happen.
It is all a cycle, an exercise in creating reality from what is inside my head, and thus the journey continues...
