On this path, there was no predetermined plan. Words, lines, and colors flowed freely across paper and canvas like a river carving its way through the rises and falls of the land.
This collection is an attempt to record the invisible stream of the soul, those inner moments that cannot be confined within words or bounded by form. The inspiration drawn from topographic maps serves as a metaphor for the inner elevations and depths of the human being, the geography of emotion, the journey of the self, and our uncharted presence in the world.
The color orange, as a vital current of existence, symbolizes energy and life. It runs through the lines, wraps around the words, and pulses within the viewer’s gaze.
There Was Never a Plan is an invitation to witness the state of being uncharted to surrender to the lines that rise from within and settle directly into the heart.
