Art

I find you in between the thin gaps of uncoloured spaces in a painting that is enthralled with the heart and soul of an artist;
for thou art the voids that can't be filled.

I find you in between the spaces of semicolons hoping to join the further clause, from a writer's diary revealing the emotions similar to that of mine; for thou art the pause for a beautiful sentence.

I find you in between the subtle movements of a dancer's legs that are struggling for perfection, and those subtleties excite me like you do; for thou art my dancing distortion.

Voids. Pauses. Distortions. 
What is art, if not these and if not for these?
An art full of uniqueness and an art full of resemblance.

On Learning More Than One Craft

Sometimes I think about how a photograph, a sentence, and a film cut all carry the same silence. They pause the world just enough for you to notice it. It was never just one thing for me. Video Editing, yes. But also writing. Then photography. Filmmaking. Design. And Motion graphics. They’ve all taken turns shaping how I see. They seemed separate at first, but the more I practiced them, the more they started to talk to each other. Graphic design showed me how space breathes. Photography taught me stillness - the kind that feels almost meditative, like the world holding its breath for a second. Editing gave me rhythm, the heartbeat of a story. Motion graphics showed me that even type can move like a dancer. Cinematography taught me to listen to light. And writing gave me the language to make sense of it all. It stitched together the quiet lessons of each craft, turning them into thoughts I could hold. Once you touch different disciplines, they stop behaving like isolated islands. A ...

Thinking Without Prompt: Why Depth Is Becoming Rare

I had this thought while writing randomly. It wasn’t something I planned to arrive at. It just showed up somewhere as a glimpse, if you will. I accidentally happened to stumble upon it. The idea that one’s own thoughts and ideas could become a medium of influence, instead of constantly depending on something outside for motivation. On the surface, this sounds simple. Almost obvious. But the more I sat with it, the more I realized how rarely we actually live this way. Psychology has spoken about this for years. Daniel Kahneman, for instance, talks about how most of our thinking happens automatically. Fast, reactive, effortless. We respond before we reflect. We consume before we choose. And unless we consciously slow down, our thinking is mostly shaped by what is placed in front of us. A large part of our lives is spent exactly like that. Reacting. To people, situations, content, and opinions. Always responding to something external. In the middle of all this, there is an internal voice ...

Your Taste Sucks: The Dunning–Kruger Effect at Play

You post a video online. It has music, clean cuts, and a rhythm that feels right. You didn’t do it randomly. While editing, you had a rough idea of how you wanted it to feel. You followed your instinct. The video does well. A hundred likes. A few nice comments. Your brain picks up on this quickly. You put in effort and got something back. That feels good. Your mind quietly notes this as something worth doing again. So you open your editing software again. You use a similar style. Similar pacing. Similar music. It works again. Nothing feels wrong. That first edit was driven by intuition. And intuition is real. It’s how you feel timing and flow before you can explain it. But early intuition is still rough. It can tell when something feels right, not always why it does. When people respond positively, that intuition feels validated. The edit worked, so the thinking behind it must have been right too - or at least that’s what your brain assumes. It feels like the loop is done. Because of t...
