Searching for the Missed Mystery of Life XII: Networks of Becoming
Artist’s Note
I have never thought of these three panels as separate paintings.
They were conceived together and gradually developed through continuous drawing and painting across the entire composition. As I worked, different figures, plants, roots, stars, and organic forms appeared naturally, connecting themselves to one another.
Many of these symbols have accompanied my practice for years. They do not carry fixed meanings. Instead, they act as living signs that continue to evolve each time they reappear.
I am interested in the possibility that the structures we observe in roots, rivers, neural systems, constellations, and human relationships may all reflect different expressions of the same universal order.
This painting remains part of that ongoing search.
Curatorial Note
This triptych marks a significant development within Abu Naser Robii’s Searching for the Missed Mystery of Life series. Here, symbolic representation evolves into an integrated cosmological system where individual motifs no longer function independently but participate in an interconnected visual ecology.
The work rejects linear storytelling in favour of relational thinking. Human consciousness is presented not as the centre of existence but as one dynamic element within a broader network linking ecological, biological, and cosmic processes. The triptych format reinforces this philosophy by allowing multiple visual events to unfold simultaneously while remaining structurally interdependent.
Rather than presenting answers, the painting encourages viewers to navigate an open symbolic landscape in which meaning emerges through relationships rather than isolated images.
Series Note
Searching for the Missed Mystery of Life
This long-term interdisciplinary project explores invisible relationships connecting human existence with nature, memory, time, morality, mythology, and the cosmos. Through painting, drawing, printmaking, and performance, the series develops a symbolic visual language that investigates interconnectedness as a fundamental condition of life.
Repeated motifs—including roots, seeds, birds, celestial bodies, trees, flowing networks, and human figures—form an evolving visual vocabulary through which philosophical inquiry becomes a continuous artistic practice.
