![]() (In fact, I even unknowingly reference a potential apocalypse!) Feel free to read more about my interpretation of CHOICE here, and that of CHASE here.Īs shown, CHOICE is associated with Worth (wholeness) on the y axis, and CHASE is associated with Wound (unwholeness) on the x axis. I wrote about these ideas more in depth in my two previous entries, not knowing that covid would hit and that the dynamic duo of CHOICE & CHASE would unapologetically and without warning take up permanent residence in my brain over the months following. CHASE is validation from without, searching outside the self for fulfillment and worthiness. CHOICE is validation from within, knowing who you are and what is important to you. CHASE comes from an unwhole self filling voids. Here are some musings about choice, being whole, flow states, binary thinking, and more (accompanying graphs included!) to illustrate what I mean when I describe life as a geometric shape.ĬHOICE comes from a whole self making decisions. “Hmm, I’m feeling a bit like I’m chasing this ideal, even though it aligns with what I thought I wanted, but something just doesn’t feel right/authentic…Zeph! Remember the triangle graph!” (Don’t worry, this will make sense.)Įrgo. It also gives me a clear visual to associate with a particular idea, emotional struggle, ego battle, or existential crisis (man, if I had a covid dime.) that I can conjure in my mind to work through it. It’s basically just me ranting, the chosen medium through which to reconcile what I journaled about that particular morning.Īs a visual learner, I often attempt to objectively graph things in order to understand them better. ![]() The following ideas that make up this blog post provided the content for several of my #WellnessWednesday IG LIVE CHATZ, informal discussions I began in late April as a way to virtually connect with people who I thought might also be going through similar phases of self-analyzation and existential crises… y’know, the USUAL the ’new normal’ as they say. And oddly, though I suppose not surprisingly when you actually think about it, it took 2.75 months of prohibitions and restricted freedom to fully comprehend and appreciate the constancy of our ability to choose. No matter what uncontrollable conditions around you exist, a whole self making decisions is, by definition, choice. However, I have come to the conclusion time and time again (through many self-administered therapy sessions and existential crises) that everything is always a choice. That free will, self-empowerment, and choice can sometimes be restricted by ever-changing, unpredictable world scenarios (like a rampant, global virus for example). This is undoubtedly due to the fact that the uncertainty of covid has launched us (like a frickin’ rocket ship to the moon!) into a mindset in which we believe that choice and control are externally influenced. Throughout the entire month of May, I’ve been really thinking about the concept of ‘CHOICE’ reflecting and questioning just what exactly it is, where it must come from, and how to exercise it. The logo embodies the heart of the Flowstate precinct, the JEM, a sculptural light display that comes to life at night.So apparently a pandemic-induced period of self-isolation really makes you think.! Given the absence of quality images available, the colorful execution has become a system to brand each performance. Ideally, the creative direction should embody the emotion of each piece of performance art on show at Flowstate.Īll in all, the brand’s identity is defined by its colorful simplicity, which captured the attention of a broad market demographic – everyone from young children to senior members of the community. ![]() Pop & Pac designed a responsive, flexible identity with a strong emphasis on connection to place – a blurring of edges into its environment. The Objective was to create an evocative, dynamic and contemporary brand identity that encapsulates the built form, curatorial framework, and place authenticity of the new creative mini-precinct. Locals and visitors are invited to relax, eat, collaborate with some of Queensland’s most compelling artists, witness new performance work in development, engage in workshops, and listen to fascinating discussions and cool beats – while communing with stylish, contemporary design. Somewhere entirely different to anything modern South Bank has ever been, a symbol of the potential to come. Pop & Pac offered it up to their community as an inspiring place of beauty and respite a well-spring of fresh experiences and sweet diversions. It is the state of the unexpected.įlowstate is an architecturally designed performance and dwelling space, a site for multi-artform expression in the heart of Brisbane’s South Bank. Flowstate resides in the spaces in-between a place where creative collisions are made and seen.
