Taking A Stroll in Free To Roam

Updated: Jul 7, 2024

The mountain stayed while everything else moved. Enjoy your stroll through the sketches!



My name is Free To Roam. I was born on November 9, 2023, in Jeddah, In Majd's bedroom.


I am stable.


Life is thriving all around me.


I am flowing.


The two swirls are connected yet separated. Each has its own personality.


I am a mountain filled with movement.


I feel surrounded.


Everything feels on top of each other.


Noise.


Love.


Care.


All stalked on each other.


I am slightly curved, leaning towards a place with less noise.


The bottom of the mountain is moving up and down, creating a comfortable and familiar rhythm.


The purple shape looks like a boat or a shoe that has a strong edge.


The grey shape looks like a ghost that is flying...or coming out of the darkness.


The dark blue looks like a swaddled infant.


The blue in the middle of all these shapes, looks like a welcoming wave.


It seems like it is carrying all the shapes; making all the shapes its responsibility


There is a creature in my left corner that looks suspicious.


It feels very small almost useless.


The dark swirl on top feels more welcoming and inviting than the one on the bottom.


The dark blue swirl looks so intimidating that everyone seems to getting away from it.


It wants to spill over but the wave is pushing it away.


I feel there is some unspoken tension but is it trying to covering itself.


The orange wants to spread itself everywhere but there is not enough room.


The wave is a glue holding things in place and pushing what it is not welcomed...or protecting itself


The trees are having a blast, making themselves known; completely disregarding what is happening around them.


The rest of me is cramped together in an awkward way.


The bright colors are a camouflage for something that is not present, which might be related to the mysterious swirls.


There is friction between the purple shape and the wave; they are pushing against each other.


There are small inner conflicts--can easily be overlooked--that are causing imbalance within me.


Even the peace that is present, is scrambled.

Hi here! Majd speaking 💛


I don't know what to say nor what to think. That was something else, totally the opposite of what I was expecting. I thought it was a very lighthearted painting.


I think this is the theme with my paintings. I guess I see it through the eyes of my ego than figure out what it actually means.


The odd thing was the resistance I felt while trying to dig into the painting. Everything I saw was coming up to be the sugarcoated parts. It felt so good to be true that I had to go back to the time I was painting to figure out what happened. Not that I found anything.


I am still in shock as I am writing this.


Should I start keeping score? Painting: 1 Majd: 0


What I don't understand is if i was going through all those emotions, why don't they come up again when I look at the painting?


I used to be able to do that with the smaller pieces. I think it is safe to say the new ones have evolved. 😂


I will leave you with that.


Until next time!

Each painting has its own emotions and interesting those emotions doesn’t visit you at the same scale!🤗😉
