I am posting for the first time in this New Year 2021. The last weeks have been a time for contemplation and introspection for me.
Chaos and order are to me paradoxical: while we sleep, our body systems function in a perfectly orderly manner, while our subconsciousness allows us to wander rather chaotically in a mysterious world that seems so real while we sleep and dream. And when we awake we are back in our chaotic "reality" which our conscious mind then tries to order. It has to do with the workings of the human mind that strives to find meaning in randomness.
Chaos and order are mutually resistant worlds and an artist, to put it in Heidegger's words, reveals this tautology from its concealment into transformation. A painting or a sketch visualises this duality or polarity in its dynamic continuum.
There is no denying the interconnectedness and the interactions of chaos and order: Coincidentia Oppositorium, the one cannot exist without the other.
Much light!
