The Exploration of Moving With The Unfamiliar

My name is Moving With The Unfamiliar. I was born on 08/01/24 in Jeddah, in Majd's bedroom.

Chaos is pushing through me.

A leaf is dancing in the center.

There is a purple chaos which takes shape of a creature with wings. And a pink chaos that is a blooming flower.

The flower is getting ready to leave its home.

I sense an observer watching me in the corner.

It is inside a cave, disconnected from everything else.

An essence is floating above the flower.

The leaf separates them.

I am both stillness and movement.

I create shapes when I move.

There are no directions.

I am moving in all directions.

I am exploring.

I am open to discovering new pathways.

I feel flexibility

A touch of gentleness is supporting me.

Hi there! Majd speaking 💛

This painting was an experience for me.

The process started out smoothly, and then the urge to mess it up kicked in. I started doing what I normally do: creating a smooth, chaos free painting.

Half way through, my instincts were telling me to to create imbalance.

I resisted at first, because I am not used to it, and it feels uncomfortable. It took me three trials of changing up the purple on the right side. The bird/pigeon-looking shape was supposed to be boat.

Reflecting back on the painting now (two months later), the balance that I was acquainted to was, in in fact, unbalanced. So I created a new balanced that looks more chaotic.

This painting taught me the importance of letting go of what I consider normal, and it is okay to get off the straight line once in a while.

See you next time! Share your thoughts below, I would love to read them. :)
