A further exploration of doomscrolling and how it is an insatiable, bottomless pit devouring our attention one scroll at a time. You just cannot stop doomscrolling on social media for every little dopamine hit you can get.
Day 9 of my 30 day daily art mint.
Series 'Free Expression'.
Express yourself. It is therapeutic.

Free Expression is a series of abstract paintings (occasionally layered with poetry) titled Free Expression. The series aims to bring out the inner child in anyone interacting with the art during its creation or after. Embedded in each work are a few common elements from the artist's culture: The colours palette for each piece is inspired by the vibrant colours from the traditional handicraft of phulkari, which is a practice of hand woven tapestries worn by women from the state of Punjab in India. The emotions/thoughts expressed in each work are summed up in an inscription written in Gurmukhi (Punjabi) script and also in binary code, as a tribute to the digital nature of these works. And as a play on the idea that the algorithm/AI cannot read emotion or truly understand art (so to read the emotion underlying each piece in binary may help). And lastly, the 'Free Expression' motif, which shows expression locked up in a box... Are we truly free to express ourselves? Do we speak and create from an authentic place? Do we have room for our inner child to play? Does our society, our culture, our politics, our training and even our conscious mind allow us to express freely?
Made something that looks pretty. It is something that is simply aesthetically "appeasing".
Day 5 of my 30 day daily art mint from my series 'Free Expression'.
Will be exploring a new idea or thought through abstractions on digital canvas every day.
Day 5's exploration is titled 'Aesthetically Appeasing'.
Unlike the rest of the series so far, this one is far more minimal in its detail. But do ponder on the message here...

Kaun? Who is this? Someone. No one. Anyone. You. What is this? Something. Nothing. Anything. Angst.
It's only Day 4, but finding inspiration was a bit elusive today. So I just started doodling. And it made me wonder who or what was it I had made? Once again, art means what you want it to mean. What does this mean to you?
