the futility of planning in the shadow of destiny

This artwork serves as a visual expression of my life's journey, particularly in the pursuit of discovering my passion and voice in the world. It delves into the paradox between the futility of meticulous planning and the overpowering influence of destiny, engaging in a conversation between destiny and free will - my liberation. Throughout my life, I've attempted to decipher my calling, meticulously planning my path, only to find that destiny often intervenes, redirecting me in unforeseen ways. The chaotic and gestural abstraction of red, black, and yellow in the background symbolizes destiny, representing the unpredictable twists and turns that shape our lives. The white dotted perimeter surrounding the core of the painting serves as both a visual boundary and an enhancer of the explosive energy within. Despite my efforts to impose order on the fiery red chaos, the dots, like futile attempts at planning, struggle to bring coherence to the unpredictable destiny represented by the bold brushstrokes. This interplay between the fiery abstraction and the attempting order of the dots encapsulates the dichotomy of destiny and free will - a battle everyone goes through. The canvas becomes a metaphorical battlefield where the forces of planning and destiny collide. 44 x 32 Inches, Acrylic on Canvas 2023
