Sometimes we need to see the opposites in order to understand the whole. I have been pondering doing and being ever since I began Art + Being. And honestly, I find myself doing far more than being. So I keep reminding myself to spend more time being. But what does that actually mean?

Life happens first.
The story comes afterwards.

We select, remember, connect, interpret — until the fragments begin to resemble a life.

Can’t you speak English???

A familiar question.
And perhaps a much older story hiding inside it.

Language is never only language — it carries power, belonging, hierarchy, memory, and the long shadow of who once got to decide what counted as “proper.”

Sometimes art asks the question back. 😉

Something new is taking shape at Art + Being.

Something is moving at Art + Being.

The works are shifting.
The space is changing.
A new story is quietly finding its place.

Not ready to be named just yet.

Coming soon.

Before a new story can be seen, it must first find its place.

The works are arriving.
The space is changing.
Something is quietly coming together.

More soon.

Artists on Courage: Lem Tee Sin

In this second reflection, Lem Tee Sin speaks about struggle.

About staying open.
About pushing through fear.
About continuing even when the path feels uncertain.

For an artist, courage is not always dramatic.

Sometimes it is the quiet decision to remain open-minded when doubt closes in.

To keep looking.
To keep learning.
To keep moving through the fear instead of turning away from it.

Lem’s work enters the inner landscape — the hidden chambers of the self where vulnerability and strength meet.

And perhaps that is where courage begins:

not in the absence of struggle,

but in the willingness to face it.
