A Futile Navigation of the True Blue (2022)

A Futile Navigation of the True Blue is an attempt to capture, document, and understand my own process of creating an art project. The project initially started as a wandering around the geopolitics and the history of the colour blue through multiple disciplines one could approach a situation.

Through documenting my process and creating this initially planned to be a mind map, I started to question my own process. It then led to a phytogeographical path of what I approached beyond a colour or an essence. The map itself started to become the centre of my attention while the art project was pushed to the peripheral corners of my attention. The deeper I went, the less I gained from the process and therefore started an absurd excavation of multilayered forms of the process of making sense, itself.

From pages and pages and multiple scribbled physical and digital maps, I better not explain how or why what we see is the way it is. The attempt to trace became rather untraceable.

This is a futile navigation of the true blue and it pushes the absurdity of mapping to its maximum.
