Architecture and art are integral components that work simultaneously with one another. The design process is quite multifaceted; the hand is interpreting the complex reality of space that the mind creates.
Is the illusion of points defining space too literal, or is it the space is determined by the volume of light interacting with the mind; thus, processing visual details? For this reason, the design has to go beyond the day by day intellect to generate conceptual ideas in architecture today. How must one keep up?
The first painting is about a digging deep within one’s self to find the strength to emerge. While the viewer may see hints of pain and discouragement, one has to also notice that there is life after confusion. The white represents the possibility of brighter days to come.
The second painting is about struggle and confliction. Simply trying to be someone else, other than what he is destined to be. Sadly, he is happier blurred out and ultimately freed without limitation to construct what is needed to be construct. Yet, life doesn’t work out that way. He has to settle and get by, instead of living up to his full potential.
In architecture there is also pain and confliction in the process of design; it is how the designer channels ones uncertainty and despair so that we may be honored to see intellectual potential.
