In my artwork, I reflect on the importance of maintaining a steady state of mind. Our internal condition is our foremost sculptor.
Imagine you are building a house. You lay brick by brick every morning to evening, creating something important and majestic. This house is your life. And your inner state is the foundation that holds everything together.
When you are calm inside, you build confidently: the walls are straight, the windows open to the world, and every detail reflects your essence. But if the foundation is shaky, everything becomes complicated. Every movement seems uncertain; every action is questionable.
The internal condition is not just emotions or mood. It is our primary resource, our connection with ourselves. It is the ability to hear our desires amidst the world's noise, see opportunities even in a storm, and feel confident when there is chaos around us.
No matter what happens outside, our main strength is inside. Therefore, taking care of your internal condition is not a luxury but a necessity. Meditation, a walk in silence, creativity, or just a few minutes with a cup of tea are ways to smooth out your ‘inner waves.’
