Spontaneity

Rawan AlShehri’s Spontaneity – comprising a series of strange interlocking ring-like forms – symbolizes the balance between perfection and absurdity. In art, the pursuit of perfection is a goal many seek. But eventually, artists realize perfection is nothing but an illusion. The artistic process is like interlocking rings, where each ring is formed from accumulated experiences and feelings, creating a rich tapestry of ideas.

The journey of Spontaneity begins as a pentagon, representing the diversity and complexity of ideas and emotions. As the process evolves, the shape transforms into a quadrilateral, reflecting the balance and organization that can be achieved when different elements are integrated. Ultimately, the work culminates in a triangle, symbolizing unity and simplification, where the various elements come together to form a comprehensive vision. When the artist abandons the idea of a perfect work, they can explore new circles of creativity. This approach invites the embrace of imperfections, reflecting how beauty lies in diversity and difference.
