Description: In these times when even the seasons are no longer steady, our lives are increasingly marked by uncertainty. And while not kowing what may happen next usually evokes fear and anxiety, experience has taught me that this unknown can bring unforeseen blessings and opportunities. We can make plans, but Life can disrupt them in the most beneficial ways.
In this piece that was once more inspired by a dream, the background square is made up of a word for “making plans” خطط . Through this solid and safe design, the unforeseen bursts with a chaotic but vital design of its own, opening doors for something new.
