CreativeMornings - 🏁 Can you spot the hidden pattern?

May 30, 2024

Our Theme for June is PATTERN.

It was chosen by our Chennai chapter and illustrated by Nishant Saldanha.

Recognizing, forming, and breaking patterns are core components of creativity. Visuals, sounds, movements, and the passage of time all form patterns that shape our existence and our work.

Our Chennai chapter was inspired by the art form of kōlam; which features patterns of dots that are encircled or connected by lines. These intricate, geometric designs are created on the thresholds and floors of houses, temples and businesses using rice flour. The practice is deeply rooted in South Indian culture to welcome guests into the home and bring good fortune and prosperity.

Traditionally created by women, these beautiful designs are often created by family members and neighbors as a communal activity. Connections between people form patterns in our lives too.

Which patterns in your relationships, work, and habits are worth repeating? Which ones should be changed? What new pattern do you want to create?
