Hamid the Rope Weaver

By George on



 Once upon a time, an adventurous artist named Hamid the Rope Weaver decided he was done taking ordinary pictures of flowers and trees. He wanted to capture something that existed neither in the sky nor on the ground, but in “the in-between world of knots.”

One day, as he sipped a cup of cinnamon tea by the window, he heard a strange sound. Not the rustle of leaves, not the patter of rain… but the whisper of countless ropes dancing in the breeze. Hamid followed the sound and stumbled into the workshop of a legendary macramé master.

The master, with a mysterious gaze, said:
 "To take this picture, you must pass through a thousand knots, learn a secret from each one, and weave a story from every secret."

Hamid thought this was just an artistic metaphor—until three days later, he found himself literally tangled in a mountain of ropes.

With only one free hand, he pulled out his camera and, in the exact moment when the ropes lined up like an army of patterns and lines, he pressed the shutter.

Now this photograph stands as proof that sometimes, to capture true art, you must make peace with the world of ropes… and always carry an emergency pair of scissors.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the world was evolving rapidly. Machines roared to life in factories, cities grew taller, and people began to see the world differently. Science and technology were advancing, and with them, new ideas about reality and perception emerged. Artists started asking themselves: "What if art doesn’t have to show the world as it looks? What if it could express the world as it feels?" A painter named Wassily Kandinsky was one of the first to take this bold step. He believed that colors and shapes could spe...

Representation of the tree of life

You are the trunk of the tree and every branch represents a different direction of your life. You can see that every branch, there's no kind of growth, no leaves of any kind, it's just a bunch of dead sticks clinging to the trunk of the tree. However, you can see all kinds of green foliage in the background, it seems to be thriving, growing at a incredible rate. What do you think the interpretation of this picture truly means?
