Almost a year and a half ago, I started my journey of healing by looking out for my mental health. For the first year or so, it returned to many memories, and I felt a lack of movement through time. It always felt like every time I moved forward, I would move backwards when I thought I had crossed the line. Even though my journey is not yet finished, I have realized there is no line; being pushed backwards reminds me of time. And more, healing through time. I realized that not everything needs to be restrictively organized and controlled. I finally understood the meaning of “organised,” which means to have a structure of function. This means that there is no one structure, so chaos drives stability in this structure. Complicated but true. I made this piece to highlight my journey of being “Organised” by “Chaos”.
