What a week of raw, unbridled, free-flowing ‘cryptic’ creativity!
This has been the best week in the history of Exploration Challenge, and the award goes to …. All of you!
Thank you for walking the distance with me, and letting yourself flow in the most magnificent manner.
WEEKLY PROMPT #146
I was seeing some works of art shared on Instagram, and the word/art form that caught my fancy is
CUBISM
Here is a video introducing ‘cubism’ for the uninitiated.
A few images to catch your fancy….


It feels like the ‘mother of all arts’ to me – to break up an image into pieces with imagination, yet giving it multifarious faces and surfaces and angles to express itself. The parts make it far more comprehensive and powerful than a single, uninspiring whole.
I would like to learn this art someday. This is not an informative post on the subject, since I do not know much about it. It is just my fascination and awe of the art form.
Meanwhile, let the word, pictures, symbolism, intricacies and the artist’s struggle inspire you to write something.
I am fine with anything from a caption to a poem/story to an essay. Or just another painting which moved your imagination.
Delve within to create without.
Happy writing!

I’m sorry you didn’t like my post for the last challenge #145 “Reticent”. I posted it July 23. I’m surprised to find it on The Weekly Wrap.

Looks like I missed it on 23rd July. I was in transit, moving to my brother-in-law’s place who has not been well. I find that comments are closed now. ‘Reticent Breath’ is a lovely expression.
