Sharp Truth on the Brutal Boredom of Reality

This week we’re thinking about the brutalism of daily life and common rituals: digital presence, simple things we feel inside and outside of our bodies, cartoon images and imagery perspective of our world from ancient times, casual fashion and bold architecture.

Reality may seem sharp and bold, yet it preserves daily ritual magic that may be felt in simple things we face and touch. This weekly update if about complexity in simplicity, truth through the objects and textures we feel while interacting with the surrounding world and shapes we find in things around us.

Enjoy! https://01-design-universe.figma.site

This is my entry for the Contra Kittl challenge. Before AI, there was imagination. For years, I used to spend hours in Photoshop, building worlds that existed only in my mind & imagination. It lived in layered PSD files, shared with a handful of people, forgotten in my hard drive. Then came AI. For the first time, my imagination doesn't just exist, it moves. It breathes. And now, the whole world can see it the way I always did. "There are wonders in this world. For those with eyes to see them."
