My CCS. Creative and critical space.

I arranged my office in a way that when I write on my work desk, this corner of my office is what I see. It has several meaningful art pieces, five to be exact. Three are paintings, one mix media, one BNW photograph. It also has three-piece furniture, which I bought when I received my first salary in my current position. Each element of the corner tells a story of what I like and don't like in life. They also become a sort of reminder of where I came from and where I want to be.

My room has the color of malachite, from the stone associated with transformation. It is believed that malachite helps reveal and heal emotional pain by absorbing the pain into itself.

My accent wall is colored grey. Cool, cold and masculine. I chose the grey as the accent color because I want to remind myself of grey areas of our lives. The either or.  Neither nor. That when I make decisions, I have to weigh between being considerate and  being consistent. Loving but also firm and authoritative. That when people make small mistakes, there are times that I just have to bring these to them for their awareness but overlook afterwards. Grey also because sometimes being clueless is normal.
