From Emergence to Freedom

 

In the last few months, through the chaos in the news regarding the War in Ukraine, the threat of Climate Change, the uncertainty around the world regarding life post Covid, my thoughts have been directed to the idea of Emergence. How can we start over? What is the cause and effect of trauma, chaos and uncertainty? What emerges and what is born thereafter as a consequence of it ? How can we give birth to new ideas, new ways of thinking and a renewed existence of hope and growth.  How can we emerge better and stronger.  

Like in reversible figures, understanding is a three edged sword as there are two sides to any story and what emerges from it. What emerges first and what is born thereafter? ......

Hence, my painting Emergence was born.

The questions above still remain unanswered fully but I hope my painting can shed light on one thing which remains,   we must adapt , adjust and refocus our lives  and energy on what truly matters. What is done has been done but what we have control over is what is to come and what will be born after the steps we take now.    

We all have a part to play and without each other we cannot do anything, so it is pivotal at this time to bring our energies together if we want to see a better future and brighter tomorrow, what we do now will determine what emerges.
