Portfolio by Farrah Akbarali

A thought is energy. Energy manifests. These are visual snapshots of a life through energetic lines. My process involves infusing energetic thoughts and applying them while drawing line by line stroke by stroke building up the surface resulting in an unintentional form. Using seemingly delicate and fragile subjects, in this case, the stylized Calla Lily, we are taken on a metaphorical self portrait of the journey of self. As we move through life, in various levels of awareness, we create through our thoughts and evolve through our experiences. Through this exploration, we find distraught, serene, pensive, anxious, humorous, hurried, impatient, meditative and even harmonious lines.
