It's one thing first, then something else.
And that, that what it once was, would never be again, or that what it once was is gone forever.
However, something has happened in the meantime.

For the past 2.5 months, I reflected so much, that I forgot about reflecting. Every new impression, thing or information that I got, would be spinning in my head. Almost like a whirlpool, everything would get in and at some point spit out. In the meantime (whirlpool-time) some sort of metamorphosis takes place. They are no longer obstacles, but katalysators of my proces. I took my time to define these katalysators and lessons I've learned the past months. But by only defining it, and explaining to myself why I want to define this, is not enough. As a very visually set person, everything I see will stick to me. And the 'sticking' part is exactly what I want. Growing, evolving and not standing still.
By using drawing as a way to make these things visual and visible, I'm using a combination of top-down and bottom-up processes. Getting it out of my head, ...translating..., and draw. When the lessons are visual, I see them, ...translating..., and use the information in my head. This way it's almost a never ending way of learning. I chose a black background, it stands out in my room where I would place my work in order to see (and use) it.
With a charcoal white marker I drew, or translated, my thoughts and lessons on the board. The things I want to remember, and use in the future. Why not make it colourful and sparkly, it would be standing out even more right? By using black and white the visual objects and things aren't fully defined yet. Which makes the effectivity of the bottom-up process easier. This way it can be applied to much more situations and moments, and it doesn't depend on mood or time. I have to colour it myself, every time I look at the board. You can almost call it a moodboard, without a mood.
I chose to not explain everything on the board in detail, but in the words which I made my own list with. A more specific and detailed explanation (and the lessons linked to them) is in my head, which is evolving all the time. By defining it here, I contradict myself.
Enjoy taking a look at my mystery of metamorphosis, and maybe you will recognise a few things or interpret it your own way. Feel free to do so, and experiment with it. After all, it is a mystery.
