TRY IT NOW: One Object, One Symbol

Focus: Observation & Simplification

Choose a simple object from nature—something ordinary, overlooked, or in transition.

A leaf is perfect. So is a seed pod, twig, or fragment.

This week isn’t about accuracy. It’s about listening to form.

What
Choose one object from your everyday environment. Reduce it to lines, shapes, or silhouettes until it begins to feel symbolic rather than literal.

Why
Stories often begin with ordinary things. When you simplify an object, you separate meaning from representation—allowing intuition and interpretation to surface.

How

  • Select objects that are flat and can live in a 2D space
  • Leaves work beautifully as they change through their life cycle
  • Notice color, decay, and imperfection—these are clues, not flaws
  • Consider when your object exists: spring, summer, fall, or winter
  • Let that moment guide the story you’re telling

Reminder:
An object will explain itself if you can imagine how it came to be.
