Charette 2: Firdaus identity - Painting

Strings and strokes - 3D Interpretation

The curvature of music gliding through the sheets, Contemplating the background of the piece, Starting with the grace leading to hassle. The mystery continues to emphasize, In the sheets hereby no edges visible. Immersed within the music of royalty, Splashing sights of details in journey. A paint is born in rhythm, a masterpiece in line. In the gallery of echoes where silence speak, The ignited complete confident Slices of connection with dominant strokes Like the particles occupying spaces found. Strokes enchanting the further chase, Still intrigued by the dominance of shades. Occuring elements within the piece, A canvas of sound, where soul moves free. Provoking the success of expression. The layerings unleashing with the blink of an Each note brush stroking a canvas so divine, Realizing the smoothness in the melodies.

Initiating the building design, I immersed myself in the essence of Firdaus through a blindfolded painting, guided solely by the vibrant melodies and rich identities echoing from the Firdaus music, leading to analysing details for a more expressive 3d form.
