(Picture, Nulla = nothing)
It always takes time until it becomes a picture. Today, I want to leave a little record of the process.
It would be great if ideas flowed continuously, but that's not always the case. Even with a strong desire to create, sometimes you only get ideas that don't feel quite right. This state can make you feel like your ideas have dried up. This pseudo-nihilism startles me. "Oh no, have I already used up all the good ideas?" That's why, at one point, I decided to turn this situation around and ask myself, "What exactly is 'nothingness'?" And you know what, it became interesting.
Then, "Knowing nothing" vs "Ignorance" – this contradictory relationship in words, what is this? It's already interesting.
And then, I started to find it interesting to think about how to visually represent the state of "thinking about nothing," and I wanted to express it. The concept of "nothingness" already exists, that's the key! Because the word and concept of "nothingness" already exist, we can express "nothingness." It's truly fascinating.
Someone said: "A donut is a donut because it has a hole; without the hole, it's just fried dough." Interesting! If you express the 'nothingness' in the center of fried dough, it becomes a donut!!! Wow, cool!
And I thought, "Wait a minute! This can mean two things (grammatically in English)." "Think of nothingness, contemplating about nothingness?" "Think nothing, not thinking about anything?"... Well, it's interesting but it goes on forever.
Furthermore, when I feel that (pseudo) sense of emptiness, I realized: The concept of "nothingness" always exists, but "nothingness" itself doesn't exist. We are just influenced by the concept of "nothingness." When you think about it, it's like the bus stops in the countryside, not the city. The bus stops are always there. The bus comes. It's just that the intervals between them are sometimes long, sometimes short. The pseudo-emptiness, the pseudo-feeling of being trapped, disappears. Because it's pseudo, after all.
