New Land & New Structures

Today’s canvas became a place of emergence—of landmarks rising where none had stood before, of colours carving out a future I didn’t yet have words for. New Land & New Structures came from a place beyond intention. I didn’t plan a landscape, and yet one formed. I didn’t design structures, and yet they appeared—tall, dark, and reaching—like witnesses to a horizon still in the making.
There was a freedom in this piece I haven’t felt in a while. I didn’t think about balance or composition or what I was “supposed” to be creating. Instead, I let the brush lead with rhythm rather than reason. The strokes layered themselves: bands of red like pathways, ribbons of blue like waters mapping new routes, sweeps of yellow grounding the whole scene with light. The darker verticals rose without my asking, almost as if the canvas itself wanted to speak of foundations forming—new structures taking shape out of instinct and release.
As I worked, I felt something open. A sense of hope—quiet but insistent—threaded through the colours. This piece reminded me that creation doesn’t always need intention to be meaningful; sometimes it only needs permission. Permission to move, to breathe, to be unplanned.

I let go, I followed the rhythm,
and somewhere in that flowing—
I found that I had built something.
