There is such a great form of therapy in an empty sheet of paper and in a high quality, black pen. When the world of technology becomes too noisy, hectic and overwhelming, the process of creating something with your hands and using the rhythm of putting the ink onto the paper can be extremely helpful for relaxing.
In the photo, a person enjoys his/her peace day, making drawings in a spiral notebook.
While looking through the sheet, two completely opposite notions came into existence in front of the eyes of the observer. At the upper part of the notebook, there is a teardrop shaped, paisley pattern with geometrical black and white patterns that spiral from the edges towards the middle of the page.
It is amazing how meditative such process of drawing can be: you do not need to think about the outcome of your efforts and you just need to continue to fill the blank space. The drawing pen, that was used to create this beautiful design, is lying nearby.
Under the paisley design is a window into an entirely new world, a calm, stylized landscape featuring three distinct mountain peaks under the vastness of a night sky.
In the midst of this night sky are numerous little stars drawn by hand along with the glowing full moon. Underneath the mountains is a dense forest of dark and tall pine trees. Their dark triangular forms serve as a protective boundary on the lower part of the page.
The above notebook page serves as a moment of absolute and undisturbed concentration. This is a representation of the fact that art does not have to be perfect or shown in a gallery for it to make sense. Sometimes all we need to do is simply draw the forest quietly or make a repetitive design in a lined notebook.
