My Thoughts

Random thoughts.

Design writing, reflections, and the occasional stray thought — written the way they come, not always the way a portfolio expects them to.

The Truest Exhibition

As my fellow designers and I exhibited at Nahous, I couldn't help but notice that while we displayed our works, the truest exhibition was not ours at all.

In a casual glance that lingered into this long and maybe even cringe stare, I saw the ocean again stretching endlessly, surrounded by quiet islands, big ships and big dreams. In that moment, I was reminded again that while we play designer, He remains the Arch Designer. But even more sacred is the fact that while we exhibited, he exhibits just beside us and ultimately we exhibit within his great exhibition.

And for that lord, I thank you.
