About The Artwork:

"There Is No Control" is a black-and-white art piece composed of intricate geometric forms. It resists interpretation and refuses a tidy narrative, reflecting the very theme it explores—the futility of control, and the liberation found in surrendering to the unknown.

Geometric patterns have long symbolized the hidden structures behind reality. In sacred art and mystical traditions, geometry represents order, symmetry, and the universal laws that govern all things. Humans desire to make sense of chaos, to impose logic on what cannot be predicted. "There Is No Control" becomes a visual meditation on the futility of this idea.

The message behind the artwork is grounded in the insight that control over the external world is an illusion. What we do have is the ability to choose our response. 

"There Is No Control" invites viewers to stop grasping for certainty and instead explore the spaciousness that arises when we let go. It is not about giving in to chaos, but about accepting that the only mastery worth cultivating is internal. This black and white art piece serves as a reminder that surrender is not a sign of weakness. It is the birthplace of clarity, freedom, and the kind of peace that does not depend on circumstances.

"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." — Victor Frankl
