MOVSUM: A Journey of Lines and Shapes

<h2><strong>The Art of Dance</strong></h2> <p>From exciting hip-hop dance floors to the expansive canvas of digital artistry, my journey has always revolved around lines and movement. Dancing, especially hip-hop, was my first true language &mdash; a means through which I translated the world around me. There was artistry even in the manner a dancer&rsquo;s body contorted and twisted to the beat of the music. It was in this universe of pulsating beats and rhythmic gyrations that I discovered Wassily Kandinsky&rsquo;s book&nbsp;<em>Point and Line to Plane</em>.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:667/1*GfV48absQJ7Q-dpfY89odg.jpeg" style="height:1000px; width:667px" /></p> <p>Wassily Kandinsky&rsquo;s book&nbsp;<em>Point and Line to Plane</em></p> <p>Kandinsky&rsquo;s philosophical interpretations of geometry, as expressed through the human body, struck a chord with me. As I danced, I often imagined myself as part of his sketches. My own overhead videos of dance became akin to his paintings, where I was the moving figure, rendering art with every step and twist. However, I&rsquo;m getting ahead of myself here and need to take you several years back, so you can really get the full picture.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@movsum/movsum-a-journey-of-lines-and-shapes-d0681dd0f589"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
