Infinite Connectivity
Hi, I’m Sab.
My Infinity² paintings consist of nine squares arranged in a 3×3 grid, making a larger square, although they don’t have to be.
The funny thing is, you can put any one of these 9 squares in the middle and place the other eight around it, making a perfect, seamless picture.
My Infinity² paintings have no beginning and no end.
Everything is connected to everything.
Study this grid showing nine incarnations of the same nine squares to see what I mean…
Assume Your Connectedness
We are all connected. We came from our parents; our kids come from us. Our siblings share common ancestry; our brothers and sisters of the species also.
All creatures, plants and animals are the progeny of the same planet, Mother Earth. And even she couldn’t exist in a void; she’s part of something bigger again than herself, intimately connected to the universe itself. To everything.
So what? So if we saw this interconnectedness a bit more clearly, maybe we would think twice about treating others as strangers and ourselves as separate. We’re not detached, we’re not made to be and we never can be; that’s all there is to it.
Centre Yourself To Grow
You are the centre of your personal universe, as your little puzzle piece is the middle of one version of a certain Infinity² painting.
You also form part of many other people’s lives where they are the centre but without you their realities would be incomplete.
Keep your very own puzzle piece near you to remind you that you are never alone; that you will always be part of others’ lives, and they a part of yours.
Let’s Play I-2-Connect!
When you adopt your Infinity² puzzle piece and send me a square picture of you with it, you will be able to connect with two of your puzzle piece’s direct neighbours.
Contact them with a simple message of friendship and… connectedness. You might want to offer them a token of goodwill, like a postcard or a picture you think they will like.
You are only interested in the giving, not in the receiving of anything at all. You will get great pleasure from making friends with a complete stranger, and seeing what happens next, if anything. If not, that’s fine too.
Special Note on the I2C Spirit:
The two people you can contact cannot contact you. It’s up to you to make the connection, and if you don’t, no connection will happen.
Likewise, two people may contact you if they decide to make the connection but you cannot contact them. If they don’t contact you, no connection will happen.
The Game Is To Give
I hope everyone will reach out to their two contacts with love and goodwill. I encourage everyone in the Infinity² Connective to be happy to receive a friendly message from their puzzle piece brothers and sisters, and to reply in a generous way.
The game is to complete the picture by getting all nine puzzle piece adopters together in one group. You will have nothing and everything in common. What will you do with that? Share the wonderful connections you create in our dedicated Infinity² Connective Facebook group, only for I2C members.
The game… is to give.
We are all different in many ways, which makes life interesting. We also share many similar human characteristics. Let’s love learning about other people’s lives, looking for ways to enrich them if we can. Let’s revel in our diversity and honour our common roots.
Let’s look at our little puzzle pieces and think of our eight Infinity² friends who are all essential parts of our shared puzzle picture, of which we have a copy.
Let’s be infinitely connected with our fellow men, women and all other lifeforms… and let’s be friends.
