Do Infinite
By Krishna Parmar
Art has always been my way of explaining something that is difficult to put into words: how the mind experiences reality.
The piece Mindscape began as a simple sketch with a pen. Later it evolved digitally into a series of cosmic landscapes. But the core idea never changed — it is about the terrain of consciousness itself.
At the center of the scene stands a human figure, small against an infinite universe. Beneath the figure is a vast field of black platforms stretching endlessly in every direction.
Each platform represents a moment in time.
Not just the present moment, but any moment — past, present, or future. Time, in this sense, becomes something we step across rather than something that carries us forward. Humans become the movers within this landscape, capable of transferring ourselves from one platform to another.
Every step is a choice.
A person can move into anxiety, step into memory, drift into imagination, or remain grounded in the present moment. In many ways we constantly write ourselves into different mental states.
The platforms form what I think of as the sea of life — an infinite grid of possible moments and directions.
Behind this field of moments lies space — galaxies, nebulae, and cosmic structures.
The universe here represents infinity of imagination.
Our minds are not confined to the physical present. They travel through memories, future possibilities, dreams, fears, and hallucinations. In this way imagination becomes a universe of its own.
We see with our eyes, but we also see with the brain.
That inner vision is what we call imagination. We live with its landscapes every day.
But there is another layer too: hallucinations, visions, intrusive thoughts — experiences that feel as though they arrive from somewhere outside our control. They mimic perception itself.
The artwork sits exactly at that intersection between creation and perception, between imagination and something deeper that appears to emerge on its own.
At the center of the cosmic scene sits a black hole.
This black hole represents direction.
It is attraction, focus, purpose — the thing that pulls us forward.
No matter where we move among the infinite platforms, the black hole remains ahead of us. It becomes the horizon of intention.
This idea echoes a philosophical concept often expressed in Zen thought:
“The center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere.”
The goal is not a fixed location. It is a direction.
Wherever we stand becomes the center of our experience.
In certain states — meditation, deep reflection, or even psychedelic states of awareness — people sometimes notice how fluid the mind’s movement through time can be.
Memories appear visually.
Future scenarios become vivid.
Moments stretch or collapse.
When we begin to notice this movement, we realize we are not completely trapped within it.
We can choose the direction.
This is something many philosophies hint at. Figures like Bodhidharma and Buddha spoke about awareness as a way of seeing the mechanisms of the mind itself.
Not escaping reality — but understanding it.
In the end, Mindscape is not about space or astronomy.
It is about how perception moves.
The platforms are moments.
The figure is us.
The cosmos is imagination.
And the black hole is direction — the force pulling our attention and intention forward.
Life, then, becomes less about where we are and more about which direction we are moving within the infinite field of moments.
Whatever we perceive is the direction of this movement.
And the next platform is always waiting.
